>Performance per watt is a bad metric. It isn't. It needs context. Sure, you can get an Intel Celeron to have more perf/watt than an M1 if you give the Celeron low enough wattage. The key here is the absolute performance. In this case, both the M3 and the X Elite are not only significantly more efficient than both Zen4 and Zen5 in ST, they are also straight up faster while being more efficient.
