I found it a little weird that they conclusions section didn't mention the AMD or ARM competition at all, given that the Intel chip seemed to be behind them in most of the tests.

You mean OP didn't? Yes, that's probably standard PR to focus on strengths rather than competition.

The conclusions section was quoted in my post and they explicitly mention it.

"As impressive as the new Xeon 8380 is from a generational and technical stand-point, what really matters at the end of the day is how it fares up to the competition. I’ll be blunt here; nobody really expected the new ICL-SP parts to beat AMD or the new Arm competition – and it didn’t. "
