If you have good idea about omputer Sccience then you need to understand the parent arcchiteccture of x86 and ARm respectively. ARM is based on Reduced Instruction Set Computer architecture or RISC whereas x86 is based IS or Complex Instruction Set Architecture. Now RISC can be very efficient for executing instructions, has lower latency but they need extremely low level integration with the Operating System and the OS you're planning to use, unlike CICS proccessors like x86 which can run on varios platforms far easily. Qualcommay be coming with a very beefy ARM based PU but unless Microsoft and the Software vendors optimize their software exclusively for that specific architecture, you never gonna see full performance and it will take a long time as in Windows Platform, now both Microsoft and Software vendors need to optimize their architecture for three different type of CPUs.
For Apple, it was easy as they are using their tailor made Processor, own OS, and software library which needs to be optimized for a single architecture.

Therein lies the problem.... People don't know what arm is and are going to buy an arm processor and then possibly get frustrated.
Indeed, the lack of awareness about ARM processors could lead to frustration for unsuspecting buyers. It's crucial for consumers to educate themselves about the technology they're investing in to ensure a seamless experience. Manufacturers and retailers should also provide clear information and guidance to help customers make informed decisions.

If only they had developed Windows for ARM previously. And MIPS, DEC Alpha… even PPC
The point I was trying to make is these benchmarks are completely standard despite being synthetic. Intel and AMD can optimize for them just as much as Qualcomm.
With CPU tests, the most common form of cheating isn't on optimization of the benchmark. Primate Labs is also incentivized to create unbiased products to not alienate a particular subset or demographic.
each CPU architecture has it's strength and weaknesses, and geekbench isn't an absolute score, but an aggregate of subscores. Each CPU architecture may favore integer, floating point, and cryptography. functions.
Each instruction set (x86 or ARM) can accelerate a particular function, such as hash/encrypt/decrypt functions.
These weighted scores doesn't mean that one CPU is intrinsically all around faster than the other. It can mean that it may operate a particular function very well but the rest is lacking.
This is why general benchmarks like pcmark or geekbench aren't considered very reliable.
Manjaro seems to be more up to date than Ubuntu.
Also, it looks like Asus is releasing an Arm version of this laptop.
