Edited for harsh tone.

The TDP is a non-standardized marketing term. You know what is fairly standardized? Watts.

Please Read The TDP is not the wattage consumed during peak load when these chips — or the constituent cores I should say — actually hit these single or multithreaded benchmarks. It’s merely a “hey this is roughly what this chip will consume at the base clock rate or the system is capable of dissipating with said chip after turbo boosting” and even then with cTDP of recent years it’s not invariably worth that much.

It’s not even funny how far ahead Apple & ARM reference cores on high-density/low-power libraries are in this regard.

Sure, but the same goes for the M1. It's peak power draw much greater than the 10W figure Apple used. I believe arstechnica measured it at about 28W after removing the platform base power cost.

The M1 is a great chip, but it's not some impossible unicorn that no one else can ever match.
