I agree that they should have compared processors with the same number
of cores. However, the point these reviewers want to make is that at the
price it will cost, the Snapdragon will beat what is available at the
same price from the competition.
If that's all they have then again, Apple has nothing to worry about. Macs
have always been "overpriced and underpowered", yet Macs are now 20% of the
market and Windows is down to 70%. I remember when it was 4% Macs and 95%
Windows.
I think the gains Apple has made in the desktop/laptop market are what
we've always wanted to see Linux do, but it can't because normal
people barely know what it is. macOS, though, is commercial, and
sleeker than Winbloat, so it offers an alternative people are aware
of. I would never again buy a Mac, but I like that they offer
something to drive M$ toward a better paradigm, competition works.
Linux remains my style, as a computer nerd, but macOS offers a
similarly functional OS for more mainstream people.
Normal people don't even know what an "Operating System" is. Nor do they
want/need to know. All they know is Apple laptops look different from
Dell/Lenovo/HP/whoever laptops.

The only thing that prevents Linux from becoming useful for mainstream users
is that the people writing it are not really interested in doing that. Linux
is written by computer geeks for computer geeks. Thus it appeals to a small
subset of computer users. Nothing wrong with that. It is what it is.

It would take a company to take Linux, make it pretty AND easy to use with
lots of standard apps AND well supported AND pre-installed on computers.

Nevermind, Apple already did that. But they used Unix instead. Same idea.
