M1 does beat every other laptop processor atm in single core speed, but the latest Ryzen 5X00U (and 4800U) are better in multithreaded perf (both absolute and per watt) - https://www.cpubenchmark.net/power_performance.html. Hopefully the Framework Laptop offers mainboard upgrades with these at some point.
I very nearly bought an M1 Macbook, but realized I didn't want to live with currently early stage linux compatibility. I'm still thinking of buying an M1 mac mini as a little home server though - that tiny power consumption combined with such good CPU performance is perfect for that use case (although it would be nice if I could somehow attach a bunch of hot swap HDD bays to a mac mini too).
