There's no doubt that Apple is currently making the best SOCs for the consumer smartphones. But, we should also be careful when comparing it with Apple Computers as some of them are underpowered e.g. Core M3 in Mid 2017 MacBook is same as the that found in intel based SBCs such as LattePanda Alpha.
It would be interesting to see the single thread performance of intel Xeon W-3275M CPU from the Mac Pro 2019. The Cascade Lake architecture supposedly increases single thread performance by decreasing the base frequency of certain cores while increasing other cores as part of its Speed Select Technology (SST). Of course this depends on the power configuration set by Apple, I wonder whether they would voluntarily keep it under max performance in order to project the single thread superiority of their AX chips.
