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.
Are you sure? Top searches for M5 vs Ryzen:

It is hard to compare apples to oranges, sometimes people benchmark different software (e.g. Safari on osx vs Edge on windows) or software that on one platform is more optimised. But in general it looks like AMD despite using an older process node is doing fairly good.
