I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that the higher numbers of that benchmark result do not translate directly to better performance for all software you run. Deep learning as it is right now is probably the main application that benefits from this extension (and probably the reason why it was added in hardware at this point in time).

Well you're really just describing benchmarks- if the benchmark doesn't represent your standard workflow then it probably isn't a good reference for you. But Geekbench includes a bunch of components based on real-world applications like file compression, web browsing, and PDF rendering. So it probably isn't perfect, but it's likely that the M4 will feel a bit faster in regular use compared to an older generation MacBook Pro.
