> early testing shows that Jalapeño will deliver performance per watt substantially better than current state-of-the-art

We're starting to see what really matters here, and though this is hand wavy the TPU makes similar claims.

I think googles memo about having no moat still stands (see: https://newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/google-we-have-no-moat... if you are unaware). It kind of makes sense that all of this is looking more like 60's to 90's IBM, DEC, Cray, Sun and the hardware race that happened then. History doesn't repeat but it often rhymes and I suspect that these efforts will follow the same trajectory.
