Apple also introduced the 16-inch MacBook Pro alongside the 14-inch MacBook Pro variant. Both devices share largely identical specifications, though the 16-inch variant offers a direct configuration with the M1 Max in addition to two M1 Pro options. Apple claims that a fully maxed-out MacBook Pro 16 outperforms laptops powered by Quadro RTX 6000 and RTX A5000 GPUs.

If they only compared to Resolve that is a very limited comparison, do not even have any 3D.
Where is the comparison with Cinema 4D Cinebench R23(CPU) and Redshift(GPU). Note that Cinema 4D was in presentation, i found it strange if a performance comparison was not shown.
Side note Blender 3.1(probably around March 2022) will have a Metal version. So the BMW27 benchmark can be tested for CPU and GPU and compared to the version for PCs.

In Apple's website they make a comparison between the new Macs and the older ones using Cinema 4D, Resolve, Photoshop, etc, etc. It won't answer all your questions but might give some idea.
Thanks Tridents.
I'll be looking for independent benchmarks now.
My only GPU benchmark is hashrate. You either can mine or can't.
Given the lack of laptops that properly cool their Quadro graphics cards, I'd say that being "better than an A4000 laptop" is a pretty low bar. Will be interesting to see if it actually runs anything worthwhile at good framerates compared to similarly sized PC notebooks.

A working Windows bootcamp mode would be a perfect way to test games. But Apple does not seem like it will provide drivers to MS anytime soon.
