Did they ever lose them?
Depends on what you are measuring/bragging about.
Efficiency is the one that's still a win for Apple. But raw power has been surpassed by Intel and AMD. Also Apple's GPU was already surpassed last year with Snapdragon 8 gen 2, and even more with the gen 3.
Plus the upcoming Qualcomm's chip may be comparable in power efficiency, they claimed 30% less power use at the same performance as the M2 Max. So M3 would need to be much better in that sense to still have bragging rights next year.
Basically, significantly different story from when the M1 released where the gap was bigger. The others are catching up fast.
Qualcomm’s power/efficiency graph was for single core, which seems disingenuous to compare it to the M2 Max, which has the same single core performance as the M2.
