Edit Reason: new benchmark
)
I haven't done any benchmarks, but regarding your question about VSCode (Code OSS), I've it running on my PBP and it is stable but it runs slowly, a little too slow for my gusto especially because the delayed typing makes things just a tad more difficult. But it is easy to install and it runs without having to tinker too much, so it may be worth a shot!
Edit: After some benchmarks I get 6921 in "on-demand" mode and 7331 when manually setting the governor to 1.99GHz, so nonetheless, it is still a decent web-machine. (Firefox 70.0.1 default Debian install, using webrender)
Edit 2: With the newest default Debian update, I get 6813 "on-demand" and a brisk 7801 at 1.99GHz (Firefox 71.0.0, default Debian, using webrender)
