Comparing Apple Silicon and x86 as the difference between having modern plumbing or not...not exactly where I expected the review to go! Gruber's hyperboles can be entertaining for sure.

But damn, I can't wait for the time for me to upgrade my Intel Macs.

But the difference really is stark. Hard to describe, you have to try it yourself. I was lifelong win/lin user but switched over to macos just because of m1 was better in the price range than anything else. I hated my work issued 2019 intel macbook with passion but I love my m1. I suspect it's going to be a long wait until I can switch back.

Classic. Switch from Intel to M1 felt more like an upgrade from NetBurst laptop to Core series for me, a great step forward but not really groundbreaking imho.

Perhaps Apple have finally released a device which is truly worthy of Gruber-level hyperbole!

Oh I think they are! Gruber is by no means alone in his praise. And the technical details are impressive. (Plus the 14" and 16" are fantastic improvements.)
