> The previous gen Ryzen was like 15w TDP, where as the A12Z in the Mac Mini ARM is 15w TDP, but the Zen crushes the A12Z Bionic on benchmarks.
Hmm? The A12X beats the 3700U in Geekbench 5's single-thread, multi-thread and compute benchmarks, and not by trivial margins.
Your power comparisons are also unfair; if the A12X ever draws 15W, it would be way at the edge of its power curve on all cores[1], whereas 15W on the 3700U is a tepid clock for the Ryzen. The A12X is much more reasonably considered an ~8W part.
