The only people who don't care about performance per Watt are those who have only one computer with a handful of cores and it is running off mains power.
People running from batteries care a lot about performance per Watt.
So do people running thousands or tens of thousands of computers in a warehouse. Not only does the electricity to run the computers cost more than the computers themselves, but it also costs a lot of money to build and run the cooling systems.

Please set yourself a reminder for 5 years from now to check if server farms are using Apple M chips yet.

- phendrenad2 4y agoYes, and also the M1 would have to magically become suitable for server workloads.
