I know it doesn't have the efficiency of an m4 but...

Here's a more detailed comparison:

Intel Core Ultra 9 185H:
Pros:

Higher RAM speed (7467 MHz) and larger maximum memory (96 GB). 
More CPU threads (22) and supports multithreading. 
Supports more displays (4). 

Cons:

Higher power consumption compared to the M4. 
Higher price point compared to the M4 Mac Mini. 

Apple M4 (8-core CPU) in the M4 Mac Mini:
Pros:
Exceptional performance per watt (power efficiency). 
Lower price point and better value for the performance. 
Cons:
Lower RAM speed (6400 MHz) and smaller maximum memory (24 GB) compared to the Ultra 9 185H. 
Fewer CPU threads (8). 
Supports fewer displays (2). 


In summary: 
If you prioritize raw power, multi-threaded performance, and memory capacity, the Ultra 9 185H is the better choice. 

However, if you prioritize power efficiency, budget, and value for the money, the M4 Mac Mini is the more appealing option.
