I think that a useful way of seeing this is to compare car engines:
From wikipedia, a Ford Flex Limited can have a V6 turbocharged 3.6L engine (max torque 350 lb-ft), while a Formula One has a V6 turbocharged with only 1.6L (max torque 214 lb-ft).
The Formula One engine has lower specs, and cost orders of magnitude more.
I think that the answer is that this comparison doesn't make much sense, when the use cases and the target are so different.
Edit: it is funny to see all the replies to my comment mirroring the replies to the parent comment: there is a lot more to the comparison than just cherry-picking a few spec point.
- outsomnia 6y agoThey are just aarch64 cores like in your phone, not a "formula 1 engine". I think it's a really tough sell. For around the same money you can buy 512 cores of modern AMD x86_64 (4 x 128 core, ~$5000 ea) AND 4 x rtx8000 gpu, 18,000 CUDA compute cores (also ~$5000 ea)
- mhh__ 6y agoKeep in mind that the F1 engine can pump out 1000HP almost instantly and is more than 50% thermally efficient (Approximately double a road car)
- cwilkes 6y agoAlso the F1 engine is only designed to last 1300 miles. Not sure if it is U.N. usable after that. https://f1chronicle.com/how-long-do-f1-engines-last/ https://f1chronicle.com/how-long-do-f1-engines-last/
- formerly_proven 6y agoThe Formula One engine has about 3-4x the crankshaft power of that Ford V6. The F1 engine has higher specs all around except weight and torque; the latter is irrelevant since gears exist.
