Well, no, right?

The M4 Max had great, I would argue the best at time of release, single core results on Geekbench.

That is a different claim from M4 line has the top single thread performance in the world.

I'm curious:

You're signalling both that you understand the fundamental tradeoff ("Apple doesn't make server-grade CPUs") and that you are talking about something else (follow-up with M4 family has top single-thread performance)

What drives that? What's the other thing you're hoping to communicate?

If you are worried that if you leave it at "Apple doesn't make server-grade CPUs", that people will think M4s aren't as great as they are, this is a technical-enough audience, I think we'll understand :) It doesn't come across as denigrating the M-series, but as understanding a fundamental, physically-based, tradeoff.
