Is this arguably comparing a 28 watt part to a 10 watt part?

We don't know the boosting behavior of the M1, so we have no idea how much power it's pulling during Geekbench's short burst.

Also the i7-1165G7 is a 12-28w part, configurable by the OEM. I'd assume the XPS 13 is running it at top spec, but that'd also need validation.
