So...which Apple Silicon chip in which machine?
If you're comparing a fanless M1 (max TDP for the SoC is like 10W) to something that has a power budget 10x that for the GPU alone...yes, something with the power budget around that of an IGP is not gonna fare as well.
And if you are indeed comparing an M1, that's two generations old at this point.
Is Apple Silicon overhyped? In some cases, yes. But make sure you're comparing it to a comparable thing.
