That's all true, but then maybe it's not "the fastest Arm desktop" if it's 25% faster in multi-core workload but the M2 Ultra is _168% faster in single core_ (that's 168% faster as in 2.68x as fast, not 68% faster). There are plenty of workloads where the M2 Ultra will be significantly more performant.
I'm excited for the future of ARM desktops, but that also means they need to significantly increase single core performance. It looks like maybe the Snapdragon X Elite will get us there? Or at least significantly closer.

Still probably far below the latest Qualcomm or Apple core designs, but should be better than the Altra/Altra Max series. I would love to see an EPYC-style Arm CPU with M1 or better cores.
