Why does the M2 have such a low CPU benchmark? (alien.top)

I compared the M2 with several other CPUs (using cpubenchmark.net) that are in the same money-range and the M2 has a shockingly low score compared to other CPUs. For example, while the Apple M2 8 Core 3500 MHz scored 15416, the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS scored 28917 and the Intel Core i7-13650HX 32119.

I don't know how reliable these benchmarks are, but I wasn't expecting M2 to be so bad. Am I missing something or? I wanted to buy a Macbook air M2 16GB 256GB, since I keep hearing how awesome it is, but now I'm not sure. Someone pls explain.

Yea on your laptop sometimes these heavy gaming laptops aren’t ideal.

Before m1 though my previous MacBooks got hot.

And one test with my m3 pro it did get hot and fans happened - think I was testing cyberpunk - and I thought damn burned my legs.

Windows laptops i never entertained idea of gaming on lap - or at least now I have a couch pad mini desk to do it.

My two cents to other readers
