> which is still 400 points or so behind apple silicon for a much higher clock speed and a multiplier larger power draw

Not a fair comparison. If we're on about Geekbench as per the announcement, it's +35%. The 15% is a geomean. It might not be better but definitely not far off Apple.

In a similar manner, except Geekbench the geomean of M3 vs M4 isn't that great either.

+35% is for a single cherry-picked Geekbench AES subtest. AMD did not show the overall Geekbench improvement.

And in a way same applies to M3 vs M4 Geekbench scores. A few new instructions were added. Aside from those it's nowhere near the 25% improvement there either.

Without SME, M4 still scores in the 3800s which is still significantly higher than Zen5's projection. By the way, M4 is in a 5.1mm fanless tablet.

Zen3 to Zen4 had an even larger increase in Object Detection score in GB6. From Zen3 to Zen4, Object Detection increased by 2.5x due to AVX512 which is more than M3 to M4's 2x increase.
