Geekbench is designed to test CPU's in short bursts to not get them into thermal throttling (this is by design, it is supposed to be CPU test, not cooling test), so I would be wary of Air's results - at least until other benchmarks results are available. MacBook Pro's results on the other hand should be more representative as it has active cooling and can sustain heavy load for longer.

My maxed out 2018 air did 760/1596 on geekbench 5.0.3.

New MBA has a 1719/6967 on gb 5.3.0
