AMD 5850U is almost as good as M1 and it beats it in power performance benchmarks as well in multicore performance:

Both have TDP of 15 WATT.

I have Thinkpad P14S Gen 2 (AMD) and can work on the machine the whole day without charger and it never ever get hot.

TDP != actual power usage especially when they're pushed to the limit
