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

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?
