For starters, the M1 Pro chip is still powerful as our testing puts the SoC on the same level as the Core i7-1270P in multi-core and Ryzen 7 6800H in single-core performance.

your testing uses outdated tests and is misleading.
you could just say this cheap 2.5 year old macbook is around "top ai super cpu" core ultra 7 165H performance-wise in geekbench 6.2 and cinebench 2024.
also its npu cores are faster.
