I'm confused why we feel like AMD Zen 3 has to "catch up" when it it's 29% ahead.
Yes I get it, per watt, battery life. The M1 is awesome for those metrics. But AMD chips have more "absolute" power. So you pick the one that is better for your needs - very powerful portability, or simply ultimate total performance (or something in between).

Looks like single core Zen 3 scores about 2100 on Geekbench 5. M1 scores about 1700.
