the 4800u is faster in many multi threaded workloads in the same 15~25w lower power region, the 58 is like 20% faster than 4800 if push the 25w
like 30%+ faster in some instances at a not substantially higher power draw, against previous gen silicon with 8 vs 8 comparison. either their low power cores are super slow, or the high power ones are doing boost stuff in single threaded and it cant clock the same when its trying to use all of them becuase the per core power draw is super high, like say intels new 11000 series vs their 10000
4800u is just the low power version its not that expensive, people dont like them because they put them in shitty low cost laptops
m1 isnt intended for video editing, hence people already having issues with ssds dying because of the non expandable ram not being enough, music editing is fine but you can run reaper on a core2 quad or something too so no reason to buy a new system if you already have like 8. depending on scenario i guess if you need all kinds of effects/simulation stuff maybe need newer stuff idk
if you just recording couple tracks at a time, can get by with like 10 year old laptop and audacity
edit:
like this here
should do ~7350 multi threaded in r23 if its locked to 15w, if it can do 25w would do like ~8800 or something being the lamer the 4700u
if it was the 4800hs its like 11150 at ~35w
the m1 is like 7500, goin against previous gen zen2(2019 cores) on 7nm(which is one of the least impressive segments of zen perf/w) with their newer 2020 cores/arch, newer 5nm silicon, with an arch that should have the natural advantage in performance per watt
idk single threaded is good atleast but, the power limit hitting all core workloads not that impressive
