This is more about the Arm X925 core than about Nvidia. The X925 is a new superscalar ARM core that's the first one competitive with current x64 at single threaded compute.
Apple M-series are ARM64. Are they not competitive?
They get fairly close from what I understand. But while they are more power efficient, they're still behind in pure speed. The X925 goes for speed at the cost of power, at least per this:

I don’t see where this beats a comparable latest M-series chip.
Anyone beating Apple at this game would be significant news even if it consumes 25x the power.
There’s probably a reason why Apple or any offering thereof has zero mention here.
