There is something wrong with those clocks because the averages are 4400 for the first result and 4390 for the other ones. It's a 0.2% difference.
So, most results between 2500 and 2600 are valid and not throttled.
There are some weird scores (less than 2400 and more than 2700), but they are...
Here are a dozen of the latest Geekbench results for Apple M4. I don't see 2700-2750 there. The regular scores are closer to 2500-2600.
2700-2750 were probably obtained under LN as Geekerwan did.
Also, there are some results for Geekbench 5. The P-core in Intel Core 285K matches the one in Apple M4:
That's not a fully fair comparison because of the Geekbench Windows tax, but it is pretty interesting.
There are some new Geekbench v5 and v6 results for Arrow Lake:

It looks pretty nice.
You can always adjust PL1, PL2, TAU, and many other settings to match your preferences. Power limits are not fused into the CPU, even on laptops.
I hope that Intel and OEMs will add the Undervolting Protection setting to the BIOS for the Arrow Lake H and U series. HX has that, but it's hidden...
Arrow Lake is expected to use a very similar topology to Meteor Lake.
Meteor Lake is probably below the initial Intel's targets, but it's pretty good in terms of battery life and power consumption under light loads:
~10-20 hours under the Notebookcheck's web surfing test is a good result...
It looks like the hype train has crashed. We've never seen that, and here it comes again :p
From my perspective, Zen 5 looks fine, especially on mobile devices. I hope we will get the X3D variants soon.
Unfortunately, I don't have accurate data for 14th-gen ST power consumption. We need to keep in mind that 14900HX is three major nodes behind (10nm vs. 3nm), not to mention sub-nodes like N3B and N3E. Arrow Lake is expected to be much more representative here.
Those settings (AC/DC Loadline...
Because the CPU power characteristics depend on a lot of settings and microcode optimization.
My favorite examples are Dell Precision 7670 and 7770, which suffered severe performance issues because of the incorrect IA AC/DC Loadline values. This issue was fixed 6-7 months after release...
I use 125H with 4.4GHz because it has a lower PL1 (28W). Even in this case, a single P-core uses nearly half of the PL1 limit. That was the initial point.
Obviously, power limits and the power configuration depend on the OEM and can even be dynamically adjusted by the system.
Returning to...
Nope. Meteor Lake uses 15-17W (Package Power) under the ST workloads on 4.4GHz. If we decrease the frequency to 3.6GHz, we will get 9.6 to 10W (link).
The results on the newer node are expected to be much better.
Ultimately, the only thing that matters is the absolute performance at a certain power consumption. There's nothing wrong with Apple stagnating with gen-on-gen IPC uplifts while the power consumption is under reasonable limits. Apple M3 Max in MBP16 consumes ~70W under CB R23 MT load. It's...
The P-core in Apple M4 consumes 5.6W at 3.87GHz and 9W at 4.46GHz. If we assume that the P-core can achieve 5.1GHz and consume 16W, the power consumption literally tripled for an additional 1.2GHz or 30% higher clocks. If we consider the architecture width, the P-core in M4 consumes 6% more...
There are many reasons why we won't see Apple M-series CPUs in servers anytime soon.
In the server market, many factors matter much more than performance. These include the software and hardware ecosystem, relationships with OEMs, upgradeability and maintainability, and others.
Even AMD is...
