You switched your claim from "they released the same chip they would have released 3 years earlier and you're stupid for thinking that was a good idea" to "I thought it was slow [because I'm hyperfocused on Apple competition and forgot the perf vs. Intel/AMD]".
Nothing got switched. Go check the facts. The chip was made. It was delayed due to the lawsuits and drama. The first release was an old chip. Hence slow. All the same. You can slice it how you like.
AMD barely has laptop designs (the point here) and Intel is long dead in this space.
