> M1 with all its CPUs pegged to 100% only hits 20W, so M1 still uses way less power than single core in Zen.

So do Ryzen CPUs. The 16 core Ryzen only needs 5W per core. It's purely a matter of frequency management.

These comparisons are meaningless because you can say stupid things like "Ryzens are more power efficient than Ryzens" and still be right.

At 5W per core, you don't get anywhere near the single-threaded perf needed to beat an M1...

(20W per core is what it reaches on ST tests, with 17W more for the I/O die on desktop Ryzen, an overhead that'll be much lower on Cezanne hopefully)
