I suspect there is not much evidence yet, mostly speculation, although I don’t keep up with the current forums on this matter. The more important reason I will avoid the M1 Macs is their lack of apps written specifically for them. That is a deal killer for me.
I remember buying an HDTV in late 1990s or early 2000s then having to wait years for a decent number of HD shows to be released and movies formatted for it. Nothing ever looked as bad on an HDTV as a letterboxed VGA program with SDTV resolution, except maybe a SDTV resolution 4x3 program stretched out to 16x9. People either looked stretched out or warped along the vertical edges! For some reason, SDTV shows on HDTVs looked horrible. I guess the early HDTVs didn’t do very well at upconverting them. They looked fine on SDTVs but like poop on HDTVs. That is why I waited until a few months ago to upgrade to a 4K TV. There needed to be enough 4K to watch before I was willing to make the leap. And the same goes for the M1 Macs, there need to be enough apps written specifically for them before I’ll upgrade.
