The M1 Chip feels 38,026 years every 5 minutes

Ignoring the personification of the M1 which is not even an AI system, so it doesn&#x27;t &#x27;feel&#x27; anything, I&#x27;m trying to understand these numbers. The article claims that a cycle in the M1 is 0.25 nanoseconds. The M1 has a clock rate of 3.2Ghz, which is 3200 Hz. A Hz is 1&#x2F;s, so a cycle would be 1&#x2F;3200, which is 0.0003125 seconds, or 312.5 nanoseconds. Based on that, the rest of the numbers in the article are wrong.<p>Also, not sure what would be so special about making these calculations about the M1 and saying that it &#x27;feels&#x27; time, when there are other CPUs with clock rates as high as 5.5Ghz, and I believe the highest clock rate achieved with overclocking is over 8Ghz.<p>A fun, albeit misguided, fanboy fiction :)
