I went from a €2000 MacBook to a €500 ThinkPad with Ryzen. Before the lockdowns. Not comparable whatsoever. Benchmarks are usually 30% to 300% faster. The Ryzen even blows away my fastest desktop machine with Intel and 4x more RAM.

Unfortunately I cannot benchmark with the fast AMD because it switches frequencies too fast. Lots of state changes. Eg it's faster on higher load than on low load. All my benchmarking logic is wrong. You really need a locked down kernel now for proper measurements.
