There have been comparisons for a while now, that showed modern day iPads were performing as well as, or better than a number of laptops...
So talking about a similar chip but with performance scaled up to a laptop with active cooling (in the case of the MacBook Pro), and to me it's not a surprise that people are seeing the performance Apple claimed they would.
Some of the people I follow on social have been showing equally impressive results on tasks across the board, weather it be hight end 4k video encodin
AFAIK chromium for example requires more than 16GB of ram to compile. And why would that be the case? especially if you consider virtual memory on top of the 16GB.

or compilation tasks for large projects.
Can this even compile large projects? AFAIK chromium for example requires more than 16GB of ram to compile.

In that case you should throw away your compiler.
