For reference, a Dell Inspiron (~$400) can have a Intel Core 10th gen (+50% L1/L2 and AVX512).

They have a much lower TDP though, so they aren't comparable. There is no 10th gen yet that fits the TDP of the 16 inch MBP.

With 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. And a low res 768p display.

So another 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and a better display for $2000? That does not seem like a great bargain.

Or you could get a thinkpad p52 with xeon CPU & 128GB RAM. Edit: also comes with 2NVME slots and a sata one. You could have 6TB on it or even more

Upgradable, upgradable. And I only see 1080p for the 15" even for the cheaper ones. I'm outside US, though.
