That's basically just sorted by power consumption. 4900HS is the most power used & fastest, followed by the ~22W M1 with all 8 cores loaded, then the 15W 4800U, and then the M1 with just the 4 bigs was last.

The truth is desktop Zen 3 is only decently ahead of certain multi core workloads at 10x or more the wattage, the rest is either very close or somehow behind. The mobile versions are already going to be week in comparison and it's going to be nothing but a travesty if the best hardware stays vendor locked to Apple only. Especially when the M2 (or whatever is next) rolls around as Apple has been on a steeper trajectory with in house silicon than Zen has been.
Zen 3 was never really compared to M1 in multicore workloads in that Anandtech M1 article. You linked a single-core one, and Zen 3 isn't using 10x the power in that single-threaded comparison, either.
Also the 27W TDP i7-1185G7 is keeping up with the also around 25w TDP M1 in spec2017 single-threaded. M1 is still faster, but more in the realm of a typical generational improvement.
AMD has done a great job with Zen 3 in particular, but IMO they are going to really struggle to compete with what Apple is able to do with ARM.
Similar the Intel NUC like AMD products are hitting, I expect them to be pretty attractive with the zen 3 APUs.
Sure I'd buy an M1, just not sure I want to switch to OSX, even the cut/paste inconsistencies drive me batty.
