Why are you comparing with the lowest spec M1 chip?

I think this might be the comparison you were after? https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-7-PRO-5850U-v...

I compared 15W CPUs and you putted 30W CPU (M1 MAX) in the comparison... Nice try but such tricks will not work with me.

To be strictly fair, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U is a 10-25W TDP depending on manufacturer configuration, not nailed to 15W. Do cpubenchmark verify that it's running at a 15W TDP when coalescing the numbers?

There is no guarantee for that, but usually 5850U is used in ultra-thin laptops and they don't have enough cooling for more than 15W... For example, CPU in Thinkpad X1 Extreme GEN 4 is limited 27 WATT (at least models without vapor chamber) and it's a laptop with quite a good cooling and larger size.

the m1 max is a 90w cpu
