    One bit I really liked:

    'So, for Alder Lake, we’ll use rumors that it’ll be twice as fast as
    some preceding Intel chip even though other estimates are more modest.
    And for the M1 Max, we’ll use this one Geekbench score that is at best
    an outlier. (Of the 31 results on Geekbench, 29 are in the mid to
    upper-12,000s and two in the mid-11,000. Guess which one he uses.) Also, let’s let Intel use a desktop CPU and make Apple stick to a laptop CPU. Because Intel will also ship a version for laptops. Which will be slower
    but still faster than the M1 Max based on the magical Intel unicorn
    hypothesis. In summary, advantage: Intel.'
