This is why the performance of Intel chip in top-of-the-line 16 inch MacBook Pro from 2019 reported in comment to this answer (look below) looks worse than a Q'3 2015 Intel chip. Laptop's with Intel CPUs are traditionally clocked with a lower base frequency, and can enter into 'turbo' mode for much shorter periods of time. UPDATE-1: We don't know if this 0.20s number is from a desktop with more big heat sink or from laptop. If there is a consistent 10-20% improvement in performance of Intel chips per generation, one would guess that the latest 11th generation Intel chip should finish this test in around 0.10s (though one cannot really say without testing, and as can be seen in updates below, it seems unlikely). As of writing this post, Intel has recently released their 11th generation chips. And that is Intel's discontinued 6th generation chip from Q'3 2015 as per their website.

Upon researching internet for a latex benchmark and a site that maintains/publishes benchmark results, I found one: benchmark, and its corresponding results page. It's not as simple an answer, and I'll divide my answer in two parts.
