I just looked into that for this thread, but the highest-end Apple chips (M4 Max/M5) outperform the fastest normal Ryzens in both single core and multi core tests.

They're awful for gaming, which most benchmarks online are run for, but it takes a Threadripper to dethrone Apple's impressive CPU performance.

Of course, this also has to do with their integrated memory architecture, which isn't very popular with high-end PC customers who like the ability to upgrade their RAM.
