Shouldn't the right benchmark be performance per watt? It's easy enough to add more chips to do LLM training or inference in parallel.
Maybe the benchmark should be performance per $... though I suspect power consumption will eclipse the cost of purchasing the chips from NVDA or AMD (and costs of chips will vary over time and with discounts). EDIT: was wrong on eclipsing; still am looking for a more durable benchmark (performance per billion transistors?) given it's suspected NVDA's chips are over-priced due to demand outstripping supply for now, and AMD's are under- to get a foothold in this market.
