Other than power management support, the progress of Asahi doesn't really impact CPU performance.

Clearly this is aimed at an audience who wants to run Asahi. It's a perfectly useful comparison for that.

Prices weren't mentioned, but I suspect the prices of the two systems being benchmarked were similar. (Edit: I take that back, the AMD system looks considerably more expensive - it would be interesting to see a more price-matched comparison)

Maybe these benchmarks aren't useful for you personally, but I think a lot of people (myself included) consider it to be an interesting and useful comparison.
