He also said per watt. An AMD CPU running at full power and then stopping will use less battery than an M1 with the same task; that's comparing power efficiency.
Look at their updated graph which has less BS. It's never close in perf/watt.
The BS part about apples graph was that they cut the graph short for the nvidia card (and bending the graph a bit at the end). The full graph still shows apple being way better per watt.
So, yes, if you want to look good on pointless benchmarks, a M1 ultra ran for 1 minute is more efficient than a downclocked 3090.
