I was really interested in how they measured power because there is a ton of nuance there.
They used the metric reported by a tool that limits average power via a programmable power limiter in hardware which an interesting way to do it. Totally valid but I really wish they provided more detail here. For example, did all workloads run at limit all the time? Presumably they did. Limit based throttling is a form of hysteretic control so the penalty part will be critical. How often and when the limit is hit will be critical too.
