guys, do you forgot that you are comparing laptop chip with mobile chip? You cannot be happy that wildcat lake is almost good as mobile chip from 2024. And you should mention that wildcat lake need 2 times higher power consumption to achieve this score and active cooling. This is shame. Please be a little bit objective.

I really don't care about the Macbook Neo, I think it's a silly buy for anyone who isn't in grade school as it's competing against Chromebooks and little else.

But it's really no great feat that Intel's latest budget chip is just barely better than a SoC used in mobile phones. If anything, it makes Apple's A18 Pro stand out as the better option.
