Powerhouse is a bit of an overstatement, especially with the GPU, which is honestly a pathetic offering for a device bearing the "Pro" name. Even still, the M1's multi-threaded performance can be topped by the cheaper Ryzen 7 4800u, which was shipping in $500 laptops long before the M1 even hit the market. It's actually kinda disappointing to me that Apple didn't take advantage of the 5nm node they spent so much time and money securing.
