I think it is important to point out that this is the worst ARM computer Apple will ever ship. I am guessing that these laptops are nowhere near comparable in price.

Brand new, a 2017 15-inch Macbook Pro was $1999. The 2020 13-inch Macbook Pro is $1299 with 8GB/256GB. (A used 2017 Macbook Pro is around $500-800 on eBay.)

My assumption is that Intel and AMD CPUs will improve in time as well.
