There is no power usage for Skylake or Zen2. But leaving that aside, it is also a single threaded performance measure which is nice but not quite a big deal for desktop / workstation / server workloads. It's not very convincing that they will have a 12 core part for workstation that I can use (leaving aside the fact that I won't be able to run what I want on it) - that will perform much better than AMD/Intel in real world workloads including virtualization etc. So I still maintain that narrowly focused performance benchmarks Geekbench or SpecInt mean very little in factoring OP's question on whether you will replace your primary system with ARM - the other CPUs are also limited to what Apple's CPUs can run - not Java stuff for example. ARM as a whole had lot of time to compete with others in desktop/workstation/server market and there is little evidence they got anywhere big.
