> Energy Efficiency (GFlops/watts)

What about TOps (Tensor Operations per second) and NPUs; is there a new energy efficiency stat like TOps/watts?

Copilot+ specs specify an NPU that does 40 TOPS; 40 (int8 integer) TOPS, but not watts?

Moore's Law describes growth in transistor density per area with cost but not energy efficiency; operations per watts.

Costed opcodes incentivize energy efficiency.

eWASM has costed opcodes, for example.
