They're not extrapolated; that's the actual performance of an iPhone 12. The "estimate" stuff is legalese.

Hopefully when they release these things, Anandtech can hook up an actual power meter, run the benchmarks, as well as some real software workloads (e.g. compilers, triple-A games, etc) and measure actual perf vs drawn power vs throttling.

It's one thing to run a benchmark when your device is cold, it's another to ask what the performance w/ passive cooling will be life after an hour of strenuous work.

The review site NotebookCheck has done a good service of consistently recording steady-state CPU performance of mobile devices, including in their latest MacBook Pro 2020 review, so I imagine they will have that data soon.
