To provide a bit more nuance to my snark - out of 8-core Intel Core i9's currently sold in laptops, in multi-core Geekbench 5, M1 loses to 9900K by 18%, beats 9980HK by 13% and 9880H by whopping 20%.

In single-core, it is single fastest currently available processor, destroying the aforementioned i9's by 30% to 50%.

To add even more insult to the injury, the only laptop with 9900K you can currently buy in my market is a gaming monstrosity 3.5x more expensive AND 3.5x heavier than M1 MacBook Air.
