The cores don't serve the same purpose as the M1 cores. M1 is optimized for single thread at the cost of die size (and a bit of power). I don't have exact numbers, but say the apple M1 core takes 1.5x the die area of N2, the you'd get better performance by putting in 1.5x the number of N2 cores.

Yes. M1 / A14 is also a 5W+ Core. So a different set of trade off. I mentioned the M1 because it is the question that always comes up and people keep banging on about it. I wish most tech site would simply point this out since they have the reach. But it is obvious neither Apple nor ARM have the interest for their pieces to be named and compared in this way. And I guess tech site wont do this to harm any relationship.
