With Apple's new iBits™ the 0s are so much rounder and the 1s are so smooth and shiny that they're worth at least twice as much as regular bits.

I can’t wait for my iBits. Also the fact that iBytes have ten iBits is revolutionary. 25% more computing power in each iByte!

It’s actually about the bandwidth: https://eclecticlight.co/2020/11/11/how-unified-memory-blows-the-socs-off-the-m1-macs/

The bandwidth provided by unified memory is just unparalleled because of the tightly integrated components found on Apple Silicon.

"Unparalleled", huh? So I'm sure gamers have fully embraced Apple hardware because it's objectively better, correct? You surely have links to benchmarks of Apple devices beating the pants off PCs... Right??
