Other than to prove an utterly useless point - why would you want to even remotely do that?!?
If my time machine backup takes four times as long but my battery lasts longer still why would I care? The overall experience is a HUGE net improvement.
That's the point being glossed over by the majority of commenters and the point the original author is making - benchmarks are interesting, but nothing beats real world experience and in real world experience there are a suite of factors contributing to the M1 and Apples SOC approach spanking the crap out of their competitors.

- Eric_WVGG 5y agocuriosity? proving the thesis? knowledge that could improve competing laptops? yah never mind I don't care why these computers are impressive let’s just play macos chess and browse facebook jfc if you’re not interested why did you even join this conversation
- EricE 5y agoI don't care? "That's the point being glossed over by the majority of commenters and the point the original author is making - benchmarks are interesting, but nothing beats real world experience and in real world experience there are a suite of factors contributing to the M1 and Apples SOC approach spanking the crap out of their competitors." I don't know what point would be proved by maxing out the cores other than confirming what seems to be pretty obvious - a hybrid approach has multiple benefits - not just in power efficiency but the user experience as well. It's not just one aspect of the design choices - but all of them in concert.
