I've got an SQ1 and Apple M2 and they're both truly excellent.

(disclaimer: I worked years in engineering in both Qualcomm and Apple)

Got some benchmarks?

Good point: they're excellent for MY benchmarks, to your point (I think).

Essentially I run them all day with Visual Studio Code and vim sessions, Firefox scanning news and documentation (and of course normal email etc), and ssh to cloud hosts.

Your mileage and evaluation could of course vary.
