The performance comparisons are not remotely apples to apples to begin with. All that's been established is that an Ax chip is entering the realm of desktop performance. Under all the workloads you'd benchmark a regular desktop chip on (FPU, AVX, etc etc) the Ax chips are still going to be far behind at the TDP and frequency they run at. If you could pump up the TDP and frequency of the Ax chips to actual desktop class and throw a heatsink on so you don't get thermally throttled, I am sure Apple's chips would be competitive. It's an inevitability that we'll see a desktop-class Ax powered Macbook at some point soon-ish. When that happens we can start making legitimate comparisons.
