VS Apple M2 Max: 14% faster at 30% less power

VS Intel i9-13980HK: 1% faster at 70% less power

No, that's not what it said.

It's 30% less power at the SAME speed. It's not clear what power comparisons are with Oryon running at max clock.

Also, Oryon is a SoC in between M2 and M2 Pro. It's comparing itself to M2 Max for certain workloads and then M2 for others. It should be comparing itself to M2/M2 Pro only which means efficiency would be a bit better for Apple Silicon.

Also, it's not clear how they're coming up with the power. Is it the entire laptop? Just the SoC? Package power with RAM? Only the core?

Qualcomm's slide put Oryon chips at 50-55 watts but M2 Pro/Max runs at 35w - 40w max. I think we should take Qualcomm's slides with skepticism until real machines get shipped.
