On the other hand, Apple Firestorm cores have *incredible* single-core performance (competitive with AMD Zen 3, even better at some tasks), while the NXP LX2160 uses good old Arm Cortex-A72 cores, which are, well, quite old by now – not nearly that level of performance.
If you've used an RPi4, MACCHIATObin, or a1 instances in AWS, you know their performance.
Compared to the newer Graviton2 instances that have Neoverse-N1 cores, they look very unimpressive.

Maybe someday a vendor like NXP would produce a similar affordable standards-compliant SoC with modern Arm Neoverse cores. One can dream…

For now, the only option for relatively affordable big (16-great-cores) hardware at home is AMD.
