This calculation makes me curious, as I know very little about computer engineering/hardware but want to learn: what is the current-most energy-efficient general CPU architecture/core in performance-per-watt? Some high-speed ARM? A Y-series x86?



This may not have the latest record, but lots of interesting and relevant info here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_per_watt

https://streamhpc.com/blog/2012-08-27/processors-that-can-do... is interesting too, though obviously out of date, but might reflect how GPUs are efficient as are the latest CPUs with their smaller lithography.
