What? The article says this thing does 2005 GFOPs, aka 2 TFLOPS, which is decent, but we have had CPUs that could do more than this for a long time now. My Zen2 12 core does about 3 TFLOPs, and a modern 16 core Zen5 can do 8-10 TFLOPS(I'm unsure what clock speed it can maintain with all cores engaged). And that is generally purpose SIMD not specialized matrix stuff(less generally useful).
Apple CPU's kinda suck at vector ops, but they aren't that bad, this thing is only mildly better. I would guess power savings is a big part of why they use this SVE streaming matrix mode.
