My take on the benchmark results:

Definitely not for the price. The latest from AMD, Intel, and NVidia don’t do this well. Hopefully this changes.
Apple is also part of the AV1 consortium and a big proponent and sponsor of they need codec. So, it seems Apple will have access to accelerating any modern mainstream codec from now and with new products.
I think if you edit in resolve then a $1099 Mac mini along side your PC is a decent investment. I guess they are going to save the larger RAM options for 16 MBP and iMacs.
