It’s not about being starved for anything; it’s that Intel and AMD have legacy issues they can’t get around. They’ve pretty much out of bullets: more cores, higher clock frequencies, better manufacturing, etc.

The point they can’t process as many instructions per clock cycle and there’s nothing they can do about it. They can’t match the M1’s performance per watt.

And certainly there’s no Intel/AMD laptop processor with 8 or 16 Gb of RAM via a 128-bit memory bus on the same die. Same thing with a 16-core Neural Engine with an OS with the APIs to take advantage of them.
