Yep. And my point is that too many people seem to judge intellect by brain size or mass. Something like "Neanderthals must've been smarter than Sapiens, because their brains were larger". Or "chimpanzees are smarter than gorillas because gorillas have very small brains", which is all true, except for the word "because" (gorillas are leaf-eaters, so they did not have evolutionary pressure to be smarter, no need in more complex hierarchies, and maybe less proteins for the brain).

Obviously an M1 chip is “smarter” in terms of raw accuracy for eg matrix computations than any equivalent wetware despite being much? smaller. Performance per watt at least at that task has to be an ocean of a difference.
