It's pretty amazing that the M3 can deliver the same performance at only 20W. I presume the Cinebench score is that much lower because the M3 reduces power due to inadequate cooling over the span of the 10 minute test. This is why Geekbench scores are similar, since max power is only done in short bursts. Apple's still king of efficiency it looks like. let alone when the M4 comes out.
