  - a die budget to spend transistors for performance: the M chips are generally quite large compared to the competition
This is a myth. Apple chips are no bigger than the competition. For example, base M4 is smaller than Lunar Lake but is more efficient and 35% faster. M4 Pro is smaller than Strix Halo by a large margin but generally matches/exceeds the performance. Only the M4 Max is very large but it has no equivalent in the x86 world.
