And NVMe with 7.5gbps are like, we are almost not even note worthy haha Impressive all around.

It's not that noteworthy, given that affordable Samsung 980 Pro SSDs have been doing those speeds for well over a year now.

980 pro maxes at 7.

But it's also been around for at least a year. And upcoming pcie 5 SSDs will up that to 10-14GBps.

I'm saying Apple might have wanted to emphasise their more standout achievements. Such as on the CPU front, where they're likely to be well ahead for a year - competition won't catch up until AMD starts shipping 5nm Zen4 CPUs in Q3/Q4 2022.

Apple has a well over 5 year advantage when compared to their competition.

That is very difficult to believe, short of sabotage.

Apple has a node advantage.
