Sure, but we are talking about ARM chips vs x86 chips, and so it would be more meaningful to compare ARM chips with AMD chips as AMD has made better strides than Intel in lowering TDP. Everyone would be more interested in how Apple ARM chips compare with AMD mobile and desktop Ryzen chips.

>[In multicore] AMD’s platform scales incredibly well in execution-bound workloads as it fully takes advantage of double the core count. In more memory-heavy workloads, the Zen2 cores here seem to be lacking sufficient resources and scale below the performance of Intel’s 4-core designs in some workloads.
We'll have to see what the testing figures look like after Zen3 and Apple Silicon ship.
