Apple is comparing their built-in graphics to the Intel integrated graphics which is not designed for photo or video applications. Typically, a high end graphics card will have its own processor and 6GB or more of its own memory. The $669 M1 does look like a bargain compared to their older Minis, but it only has a 256GB SSD, so you'd need external storage which isn't an issue.

My wife's Dell Laptop has an Nvidea 1060 graphics card and performs nearly as well as her desktop with the same card and has dedicated memory for the graphics. I tend to doubt that the GPU on the Apple chip would be as fast though it may get some boost from having the memory on the chip.

While I suspect the M1 would be faster than your I5 MacBook, I'd wait until you can see some benchmarks on the graphics performance. It should be faster than the old Intel graphics on the I5. Whether it's faster than a true graphics card is unlikely.
