We already know that the Apple M1 SoC offers substantial performance and battery life improvements compared to Intel-powered MacBooks. However, Apple has shared the rated-power consumption of the M1 in the Mac mini, providing comparisons between the ARM chipset and chipsets back to the PowerPC G4.

I have one and it flies, never hear a sound of the fan and the only minus is not being possible to Dual boot with windows, so that I could play all games. The M1 is *really* powerful but as a lot of games are still for x86 and not written for Metal, the performance would even reach higher levels.

Is there any Apple customer that doesn't live in a delusional dream?

Wow, so you used two different units of power in the same article. That really hurts my eyes!
You realize that 1 W is just ~3.41 BTU/h.
And because basically all of the engergy is converted to heat yes in fact the max heat energy is just 110W *3.41 = 376 BTU/h. 🤦  Half of the table is just repetition.

What dream? Metal is a much more modern graphics stack and would definitely result in improved performance (you can see it in iOS games), the main problem is it's lack of cross-platform compatibility.
