Can someone explain the power consumption difference between one of these chips and an arm (eg m1)?



If this[0] is accurate and I'm reading it correctly, "Total Package Power Consumption over Time" indicates no more than 4W at any time (and often way less). Maybe someone can read it for me?

A Ryzen 7000 U-series CPU by itself has a TDP (this is not power consumption but rather Thermal Design Power) of 15-30W. This seems to approximate power consumption.

This[1] explores comparing the previous generation (6800U) to an M1 Pro[1] and states that the Apple chip is ~2.4x as efficient in single core Cinebench performance while being approximately tied on Cinebench R23 multi-core.
