Something to consider Intel's TDP is given at base clock - boost is irrelevant (i.e. they skew the facts the CPUs are way more toasty than TDP). Increasing the frequency requires more voltage, power is proportional to frequency and square of the voltage.

Other than that - x86 cores (skylake) are generally more powerful per clock than any Arm.

I'd not trust geekbench a bit between different platforms. for example:

The LZMA workload compresses and decompresses a 2399KB HTML ebook using the LZMA compression algorithm with a dictionary size of 2048KB. The workload uses the LZMA SDK for the implementation of the core LZMA algorithm. The test effectively is about L2/3 cache sizes, if it fits there - great result, if not - a horrid one.

Most of the testing lacks any specific data, just what library they use.
