Not a chiphead, but saw this in the article that might be a reason ARM is better for this kind of thing:
"The theory goes that arm64’s fixed instruction length and relatively simple instructions make implementing extremely wide decoding and execution far more practical for Apple, compared with what Intel and AMD have to do in order to decode x86-64’s variable length, often complex compound instructions."
Not sure it's true, not an expert. But it doesn't sound wrong!
