Where the article explains it
Two things move in practice, and both are visible in the published record rather than being vendor marketing claims.
The passage around this formula
Because a watt is a joule per second, measured this way is numerically the same quantity as operations delivered per joule. That equivalence matters because it converts a throughput specification into an energy budget for a single inference:
