Their math is incorrect. The M1 scores about 300K in Coremarks and has 8 cores => 37.500 per core. M1 consumes about 12W => 1.5 W/core and thus: 37.500 ÷ 1.5 W/core = 25 K Coremarks per Watt. But this company (or Andy Huang) is claiming M1 has 100 Coremarks per Watt! Why don’t people check their math if it sounds far off?

I saw multiple people (outside of HN) come up with similar numbers for the M1. The numbers are impressive (2x-3x more efficient than M1) but the extreme dishonesty makes the design look like snakeoil. If you're ahead why lie? Probably because the design isn't actually as good as the press release implies.
