Hard to know relative performance before we get benchmarks. Aside from that anything that runs on M1 should run on this in the same way. In fact, the processor on Neo should support slightly more modern software since it implements ARMv9 [1] agains M1 ARMv8 [2]

The A18 Pro has been around since September 2024, we have plenty of benchmarks.

Not on laptops no, we should expect much better numbers on a full fledged laptop

The only difference the laptop would make is slightly better cooling; although with the effort Apple puts into iPhone/iPad thermals, I doubt it'll be exceptionally better. At most, maybe a 2-4% increase in multicore, from being able to sustain burst frequencies longer before thermal throttling.

The laptop can also supply more power to the chip and might have better integrated data lanes. Throughput to cache might be faster too if the access to disk and RAM are faster, they could try a more aggressive CPU scaling governo, since the hardware can handle it. And the list goes on

Benchmarking is not only about raw processing power, we can easily prove this on chips that are not hardware bound, benchmarks can vary wildly between machines running Intels or AMDs. The hardware between a phone and a laptop are orders of magnitude different, even though the CPU is the same

		Most of that doesn’t apply, the RAM is part of the SOC so the same as the phone, the SSD controller is part of the SOC so the same as the phone. This isn’t an old fashioned Intel system, this is a modern Apple Silicon system where everything is unified. The CPU, GPU, I/O and SSD controller are all in one SOC.
