The current gen iPhone chip using the same cores literally outperforms anything Intel makes on a per core basis.
Zen 3 slightly outperforms the iPhone chip, but it runs it's clocks slower to stay inside a 5 watt power draw.

So, yes. Expect it to outperform Tiger Lake and Zen 3, at least on a per core basis.
- rbanffy 6y agoRemember the intel part has 8 fast cores while M1 has 4 (and 4 puny ones which really doesn't count). The Intel part also uses SMT to squeeze some extra parallelism that the reordering plumbing can't.
- GeekyBear 6y agoYes, Intel makes parts with more cores, but their entry level chips only have two cores. Apple chips with more cores will come in time as well. It's the per core performance, especially at a given power draw, that matters going forward.
