While it's Intel's latest, the i9-10900k is hardly a current offering - its yet another spin of Skylake, a 5 year old CPU design, and using a variant of Intel's 14nm, a 6 year old litho process.
The i9 has a density of ~44mT/mm2 versus the M1's 134mT/mm2 (3x)
The i9 has ~9.2B transistors, compared to the M1's 16B (174%)
The M1 is two generations ahead on lithography and has a more sophisticated CPU design than Intel. It'll do fine.
