Not really a victory there. Also, it hasn't even been released yet, so comparing hypothetical unreleased products isn't a good comparison to call released products you can actually buy "nothing special."

Apple never said it compared to a 3080 in Gaming Performance. People made conjectures that it could be roughly in that arena. In Productivity applications (work applications that use a GPU), there it's very close to a 3080.
Also, TFLOPS is a terrible number for performance because it depends on the level of precision and is highly variable on workload. Good luck loading, say, a 48GB 3D Model on a RTX 3090 - but a M1 Max would handle it fine. Similarly, the 10.8 TLOPs PlayStation 5 had better performance than the 12 TFLOPs Xbox Series X for months after launch.
Finally, as for many of the games that were compared - notice how many of them use MoltenVK, which is a Vulkan -> Metal translator that impacts performance. Then look at how many were x86, needing Rosetta translation on top of that. These weren't exactly the most native of game ports.
“Nothing special” compared to an unreleased Intel chip with higher power usage.
“Overstated by fake numbers” by choosing 1 metric and ignoring 99 others it’s better at.

Is M1 vs Intel personal to you?
