> It might be worthwhile to ensure that a web app you're developing will work on a less powerful machine

If that’s your goal this machine is still too powerful. Web apps generally care about single thread performance. The machine has a single thread performance that exceeds any and all Intel/AMD processors, according to Geekbench (A18 Pro: 3445; Ryzen 9 9950X: 3385). My own test for ensuring my web app performs well involves a machine less than half as fast, and my web app runs with all assertions turned on.

Not true at all: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/single-thread/

Those chart seem _very_ suspect when it comes to Apple CPUs, to the point I don't think they're worth considering much.

M3 Ultra being fastest in single core than M4 or A19 Pro doesn't make any sense.

Those chart also suggest that M3->M4 was a _regression_ in performance, which, is... an interesting conclusion.

True for Geekbench.

Which notoriously favors anything made by Apple.
