Not to bash on x86 or anything, but that's an outlier. Very overclocked with a compressor chiller or similar. Also the single-threaded and multi-threaded scores are the same; it's probably not stable at full load across all cores.
I don't think that's really representative of the architecture at scale, unless you're making the case for how overclockable (at great power/heat cost) x86 is.
I see x86 on top (the first valid result is 6841, which is x86), if that is the sole benchmark we're going to look at. You can further break that down into the individual tasks it performs, but I'm not going to :-)

Larger pages mean more potential for waste.
