Slightly, although less so if you have code you can compile yourself and use -march=native. The M1 is heavily default optimized for the M1, random x86 binaries are generally optimized for something like a Pentium 4. Just tweaking this one thing, can easily double perf. Also, as someone who owns both, make sure the 5950 is actually turbo'ing correctly. Mine was a real pain to get it up to speed, despite having a seriously overkill water cooler.
