Desktop CPU, with a 170W TDP.

Granted, the comparison is an extremely specific synthetic benchmark, but still, I agree: utterly wild.

It doesn't really challenge the desktop CPU in multithreaded tests where the 170w are actually relevant.

The test also includes AI tasks, the Apple chip seems to spend around 20% of real estate on that, the desktop CPU had none.

That's actually nuts. I have an iphone x, I remember when that came out and everyone was surprised that it was as fast as an i5-7200u. Yeah sure it's a dual core laptop chip but still very impressive.
