AMD's Zen 3 (Ryzen 5xxx series) are beating the Apple M1 in single core score: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/singlecore

As another datapoint Ian (of Anandtech) estimated that the M1 would need to be clocked at 3.25Ghz to match Zen 3, and these systems are showing a 3.2Ghz clock: https://twitter.com/IanCutress/status/1326516048309460992

Fake news. These are not Macs and are very overclocked PCs (Hackintosh).

Not sure why this is downvoted? The top score shows a 6.472GHz clock speed - clearly not stock.

Because some of them aren't. For example, result #4. Stock 4850 MHz for a 5800X and it scores over 1800: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/4665766.gb5

Also notice this result is using clang9 while the MacBook results are using clang12. I assume clang12 has more and better optimizations.
