If you give classical k cores, then to be fair you should give quantum k D-waves. If you are only making a scaling argument, then no need to include terms that cancel. If you want to make a comparison between currently available hardware, then the metric should be some combination of speed, power usage, space, cost, etc.

That isn't a fair equivalence. A core costs about $100, while a D-Wave machine costs about $20 million.

  For actual fairness, you'd need to consider all the research and development costs that got that core to $100.
