Don’t thermals basically explode non-linearly with speed?
It’s possible Apple’s chips could be dramatically faster if they were willing to use up 300W.
I remember seeing an anecdote where Johny Srouji, the chief Apple Silicon designer, said something like the efficiency cores get 90% of the performance of the performance cores at like 10% of the power.
I don’t remember the exact numbers but it was staggering. While the single core wouldn’t be as high, it sounded as if they could (theoretically) make a chip of only 32 efficiency cores and just sip power.

Intel and AMD did that with their latest data-center chips to compete with Ampere and AWS’s Graviton. I’d love to build a workstation out of one such beast.
