CPU hasn't been the limiting hardware in a decade. I think Intel stagnated because people have prioritized spending money on GPUs, memory, and SSDs.
Even when I'm writing an intensive program, I'm using multiple cores, so a single threaded benefit is useless to me.
I have a half a mind to think the m1 is a marketing gimmick because making a better processor was low hanging fruit that CPU companies aren't trying to compete on(outside of price).
