Then there is this:
<https://sixcolors.com/post/2020/11/m1-macs-review/>
"Based on my testing, it’s also safe to say that all three M1-based
Macs, these low-end systems at the bottom of Apple’s price lists, are
among the fastest Macs ever made."

and

"To be clear, all three of these M1-based Macs are faster than every
currently shipping Mac except for the Mac Pro, the iMac Pro, and the
very highest-end configurations of the 5K iMac—the 8- and 10-core i9
configurations released earlier this year and the 8-core i9 model
released last year."
