I mean, you *do* have literally the lowest-end Apple Silicon Mac, and it sounds like it's the passively cooled one, so your max TDP is 10W, and that'll trail off a bit for anything sustained. Comparing to a machine with thermal headroom ain't a fair fight, and Macs that have the headroom do perform better.
If you got a current gen Windows box with a 15W CPU you'd wind up in the same situation.
