And multi-core list:

The M1's single-core result beats Intel i9-10900KF (score 1418) and is almost at Intel I7-1165G7 (score 1504)
It's not clear to me how much power the Macbook Pro draws. They specify 10W TDP for the M1 in the Air, but it seems to be higher in the Pro?
It's very unlikely, but wow it would be great if I could build a server using an M1 processor. Just the power saving alone would be phenomenal.
Mac minis are designed with a stackable form factor, and in fact one of their selling points is to put together server farms for stuff such as running build jobs with Xcode.
If I'm not mistaken, mac minis with the M1 chip are sold starting at 700$ a pop.

For MBA (no fan. passive cooling) same ST number, MT number is 6300. So fall off, but not that bad, large cores at maybe 80% of peak. Device gets slightly warm, not hot, under this use case. Device power maybe 8..9 W I would guess?
I don’t think I’ve seen any indication from Apple the current M1 13” is all we’re going to see in this form factor.
I can't buy this hypothetical stronger arm Macbook so it means nothing. Apple's marketing material said the M1 would blow everything out of the water with a HUGE margin.
Now it turns out it's actually slower then their own laptop would be with a refreshed intel chip. That's what dissapoints me.
On multicore, Tiger Lake blows well beyond its TDP range and throttles hard, ending with a 6070 score on MT for the 1165G7. (in CB R23)
Apple is performance-wise matching their competitors (was clear from how they positioned m1 products that this would be the case).
Now one can say that it's lower power and low end, but then we can also say that when especially AMD catches up to 5nm (within a year) and adds on-chip memory (within 2 years) they'd be ahead, with a chip with the same die size..
Now it turns out it's actually slower then their own laptop would be with a refreshed intel chip. That's what dissapoints me.
Could you provide a link to the marketing material that says the M1 would blow everything out of the water with a HUGE margin?
The M1 press release says "The World’s Best CPU Performance per Watt". That's true.
The M1 MacBook press release says "And with M1, the 13-inch MacBook Pro is up to 3x faster than the best-selling Windows laptop in its class."
The fine print: Testing conducted by Apple in October 2020 using preproduction 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 chip, as well as production Intel Core i7-based PC systems with Intel Iris Plus Graphics and the latest version of Windows 10 available at the time of testing. Best-selling system based on publicly available sales data over the last nine months.
Translation: those laptops you see at Best Buy that are in the $800–$1200 range? Yeah, we blows those things out the water. By a lot.
I still may buy a M1 system, but I was hoping Apple would start competing in price/performance.

I fully expect Apple's higher end, higher TDP chips to achieve better performance. But they will cost more money.
Like it or not the M1 is competing in a price bracket with the 4900HS.
I don't know many professionals in any industry that are constrained so heavily by power - generally when you're doing professional work, you're not far from an outlet, save some rare use cases like on-location shoots for film and television.
