Developers are under an NDA to not benchmark or report benchmarks from the development units they're getting.
It's possible they are very capable processors and the reason Apple do not want raw numbers out there is they're good enough to depress sales of the existing Mac range.
It's also possible they're
very good and Apple doesn't want competitors to react yet. Let's say they clock in at 50%+ improvements over their equivalent predecessors, that would shake the laptop industry and Microsoft will make a much bigger push into ARM than they have done so far.
