I'd say that there's one: Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3.

(See the ThinkPad X13s)

The 8cx Gen 3 is better than Qualcomm's other stuff but it's still generations behind a current Core i5. They're about 20% slower than a last-gen Core i5.
Can one install other OS on that Thinkpad or is it doomed to run Windows forever?
Linux support for the X13s is a work in progress. Booting and Wi-Fi connectivity work since a few months now for example.
This is great news. It's a good EUR 500 cheaper than a similarly outfitted M1 Macbook (although the performance is closer to Celeron than to M1)
