Memory bandwidth is an uncore thing, not a core thing. Apple's uncore is amazing. But that means they can feed their cores well, not that their cores are actually the absolute best performers when all the stops are pulled out.

Yes, it is core and uncore, which we call a CPU, and you said "But Apple cannot beat Intel/AMD in single-thread performance." which is incorrect for the reasons above.
