此机器架构信息图中的 "efficiency" 是什么?

What is "efficiency" in this machine architecture infographic?

Raptor Engineering 发布了这张信息图(下图),比较了 POWER8 与其他处理器架构。 (source, context)

在机器架构的上下文中,"efficiency" 指的是什么?

Raptor 的回应(强调):

That metric refers to power efficiency and scalability; specifically as [I|F]LOPS are reduced how well the chip's power consumption also scales down. x86 and ARM are the clear winners here due to ARM's relatively simplistic design and Intel's aggressive lowering of process node size.
