No doubt having lots of threads and lots of memory make this a very nice workstation.
But it's about twice the price of a 16-core AMD 7955 which has about 150% the performance both per core and overall. The M1 certainly might win on power, though.
Using a machine of this class is mind blowing, that author isn't wrong about that. But there's still about a 3x price/performance gap. I love ARM and I can't wait for this to get more mainstream, but it's not quite here yet if you are cost conscious.
