I checked out the specs of the M1 and it's a pretty impressive little chip..

At just 10 watts (the thermal envelope of a MacBook Air), M1 delivers up to 2× the CPU performance of the PC chip. And M1 can match the peak performance of the PC chip while using just a quarter of the power.

But it's still a dog in power consumption terms, when compared to AKIDA.

Its actual power requirements vary by application, but Akida processors typically consume anywhere from 100 microwatts to a few hundred milliwatts of power.

The Apple chip has far superior size architecture in the 5nm, as you pointed out and it will be very interesting to see AKIDA's power usage at smaller architectures.

But then we aren't comparing Apples with apples anyway..
