I think it's very naive to assume that the marketing department of a megacorporation isn't going to say anything to make more sales.

It's likely that no-one has validated anything when it comes to future tense comparisons.

Read all, believe nothing, especially don't believe the future predictions of someone trying to sell you a laptop today.

Apple has future M1 samples for sure, but they don't have future AMD samples to benchmark against, unless somehow Apple has done some industrial espionage...

In car terms, it's like Tesla trying to persuade someone not to buy a Porsche Taycan. Of course Tesla's going to say their battery lasts longer, even longer than the second generation Taycan no-one has seen that's coming out in a few more years.

Huh? I was just saying the claim (whether it turns out to be true or not) wasn’t about only the M1, and that it’s more reasonable to assume that Apple is confident they can release something above their lowest range offerings.
