The initial AMD announcement included some comparisons, for example

"AMD also included battery life benchmarks comparing the Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U against two Core i7 models and the Apple M2 Pro, with the former both having a battery capacity of 54 Wh, while the latter had a 69.6 Wh battery. Meanwhile, the Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U system was equipped with a 51.3 Wh battery yet managed to deliver longer battery life than all three competing laptops, with the highest delta being a 70% advantage over the Core i7-1370P"

"AMD says AMD is the best." Wow, I'm so surprised. I also think I am the best(/s).

I still find this compute per watt thing such a silly thing for any company to care about. Until Apple did it, it was not on anyone's minds. Once Apple did it, they dumped a bunch of money into marketing a metric that no one cared about; and now people pretend to care about it.

Not to mention this obsession with CPU that I just cannot grasp. Not sure what industries this is the bottleneck.

The sheer audacity to claim no one cared about perf/watt before Apple. More like you did not know what it is before you consumed Apple marketing.

This is too on the nose.

VR (sorry, "spatial computing" now, Apple doesn't do anything that can be dismissed as a gaming peripheral now..) is another recent example.

Apple started talking about Performance per Watt in 2005, 18 years ago. It was their stated reason for switching from PowerPC to Intel.
