FYI, cpu-monkey.com states that the following CPU's have the following scores and TDP respectively:

- AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS: 11006 on 35W

- AMD Ryzen 9 4900U: 1279 on 15W

- AMD Ryzen 9 4900H: 11061 on 45W

- AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS: 10590 on 35W

- AMD Ryzen 7 4800U: 10156 on 15W

- AMD Ryzen 7 4800H: 10590 on 45W

- AMD Ryzen 5 4600HS: 8934 on 35W

- AMD Ryzen 5 4600U: 8044 on 15W

- AMD Ryzen 5 4600H: 8934 on 45W

And finally, just for spite: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X: 28641 on 105W

Disclaimers: 1) As TDP I've taken PL1 as that is undoubtedly the exact same thing that Apple is doing.

2) I don't know/care about Intel's unlimited refresh works, so can't tell you what Intel's products look like.

3) Data comes only from cpu-monkey.com, so take the numbers with a grain of salt unless they are verified.

So decent but entirely in the range anyone realistically expected.

Outside of the hype at least.

Worth qualifying the comparisons here with core counts... these are mostly 8 core/16 thread parts, with a few 6 core/12 thread parts, vs the M1 4+4.
A TDP comparison would be more appropriate, if I have the same multicore performance with 4/6/8/n cores, then what is the core count worth?
A TDP comparison is certainly reasonable, though we don't actually have real power consumption metrics so it's a challenging thing to really evaluate. But more to your question, it depends on whether you're trying to evaluate _this chip_ or the _chip family_. Personally I'm not going to be buying anything with the M1 in it because they aren't machines that fit what I need, but I'm extremely interested in benchmarks of the M1 because of what they tell us about the hypothetical M1X (or whatever it ends up being called) in a body that I would, in fact, purchase.
