Is there any evidence that x86 can compete with arm on per-watt computation?
2 comments

I don't have numbers, just a hint-motivated question of how much improvement Apple's silicon has seen post-M1 compared to the competition. I've been lead to believe x86 has improved more in the same time period, but I'm too far removed from the details to back it up.

x86 vs ARM? Yes. Plenty

x86 vs Apple's Implementation of AArach64 from A14 to A16? Not yet. We will soon have news from Intel and AMD Zen 5.
