How these nm based metric relates with transistor density or flops per watt?

I think we're going to be stuck at ~2Gflops/W CPU.

If we ever see 3+ on cheap low power consumer hardware I'll eat my shorts.

Any thoughts on MicroMagic? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/new-risc-v-cpu-claim...

Ok, I should have added with enough total power to do some meaningful work...
