That's a Geekbench v4 score, which isn't comparable to a Geekbench v5 score.

You can see the same laptop on Geekbench v5 here, where it scores much, much lower than the M1: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/10506812

For those that can't load and are curious, the M1 Max scores about 2x the Intel Core i7-11800H in the Dell laptop on both single core and multi core scores.

I don't think that was a good sample, most of the XPS 15's I see have a much higher single thread score, almost double the one linked above:

It looks like the original as been updated, the differences don't seem very drastic especially when you consider what the SKU's w/ the m1 max cost

guess it's about a 1.5-2x difference in battery life though

I think there is a big variance in XPS 17 scores. For reference, here is a top scoring XPS 17. In this case, scores are much closer.

You’re comparing Geekbench 4 and 5 scores - you can’t do that. It’s a different scale.

Here’s an example of a Geekbench 5 score: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/10501477

Here's the actual Dell XPS 17 vs MacBook Pro: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/10502109?baseli...

That might be a lemon XPS 17. With a higher scoring XPS 17, the benchmark is much closer:

Is that a legitimate GB score for that machine? Searching for scores from that machine gives me: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/search?q=XPS+15+9510

Which shows score much lower than the linked test (maybe I'm missing something). Likewise unless it's coming from someone like AnandTech I'm skeptical of any benchmarks for the M1 Pro/Max until these machines are actually released next week.

I think you’re looking at a geekbench 4 score, vs v5 in the post. It seems that this machine performs significantly better than an XPS 15.

https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/10501477 V5 score for that

Comparison for that https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/10501477?baseli...

That's a v4 score, which can't be compared to a v5 score.

Geekbench 4 and Geekbench 5 are different scales.

Edit: about 5 people beat me.
