They are making these claim using the EEMBC benchmark. This must be an interesting benchmark as they claim the fastest chip on the EEMBC benchmark is a Cortex-A9, a 8 year old design.

Their figure of merit is performance per watt, not performance.

[mcphage]

Well, their figure is performance per core-watt, which... isn't really a meaningful statistic:

"The M1 chip is roughly the equivalent of 10,000 CoreMarks in EEMBC terms; divide this by eight cores and 15W per core, and that is less than 100 CoreMarks per Watt."

Unless they think that the M1 is drawing 120W?

Then won't the Context A-53/55 would be better comparison
