#4Lines up about exactly with the improvements in the A18 Pro i.e. ~+10% single and ~+15% multi.

#5Nice. The iPads generally measure around ~8% slower than the MacBooks, I guess for cooling reasons. So we should see approximately a 4400 single core Geekbench score for the MacBook series. This is nice.
Single thread MacBook progression on Geekbench:
M1: 2350
M2: 2600
M3: 3100
M4: 3850
M5: 4400 (estimated)

#6I am very curious how GPU performance will be, especially for AI tasks

And the GPU is up by about ~30%! This falls in line with the recent jumps in the A chips as well.

#8It feels like Intel and AMD are asleep at the wheel with their mobile lineup. I've been looking at non-apple equivalents that have similar performance/power as the M lineup and it seems they all lag about 20%+.
For $800 the M4 Air just seems like one of the best tech deals around.

Big boy is bitching about a meager 10% increase in CPU and 30% increase in GPU as a nothing burger. "Who would upgrade from M4 to M5?" exactly. The difference is when you upgrade from older to latest. Most people do not upgrade annually. I'm looking to replace my 6th gen tablet, but now I might just get an m4 after the m5 is official and get a nice discount on what will be a helluva upgrade for me.
Some of the comments in the threads you linked also suggest Russia has infiltrated Apple, but my guess would be some where in the Chinese side of the supply chain.

Only if you don't mind macOS.
