You are right, I'm simplifying a lot. I'm ignoring all kinds of issues like how all one million cores would communicate with memory or each other.
I hope it at least illustrates that Perfomance / per watt is nice, but unless the perfomance is good enough to be ballpark where you need it, it doesnt matter too much.
If there was a dual core CPU where each core ran twice as fast as the fastest Intel/AMD core at the same Watt as an 8 Core Intel/AMD CPU, It would sell like hot cakes, even if it was half the Performance per Watt.
