I would consider that a fraudulent demo, since it is selling something different from what it is showing.

No? There was nothing in the context of that video to suggest it was running on an A12Z. They were showing you the features that will be available on the chip they're going to bring to market sometime this year. This chip must already exist in a near-production form in order to meet that deadline.

I’m not saying they did, I’m pretty sure they were running it on an undisclosed chip. What would be fraudulent would be emulating it on the A12Z and claiming they were virtualizing.

Apple isn't selling anything at the moment. It was only an announcement, and it remains to be seen if what they deliver matches what they announced.
