a hash rate greater than 0.5TH at a power consumption of significantly less than 1 watt/GH.

That sounds like 600TH/s with 300W power consumption.
Very hard to believe.

You have your G and T mixed up.

I meant GH/s, but I still find it hard to believe for a 600GH/s device to consume like 300W

It is all marketing of the words "greater" and "significant".  520 GH/s @ 480W would meet the "definition".  That is why I pointed out there is no spec.  Lots of range in words like "greater" and "significant".  Significant to who.  Some would say 10% better than anyone else is significant (and it probably is in the long run).  You have obviously taken significant to mean 2x better which it probably isn't.
