I've taken those facts into account.
I haven't seen any benchmarks that include power usage for Apple CPUs.
AMD cpus are not like Intel CPUs, they don't use more than the TDP under load. https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-ryzen-ai-9-hx-370/3
The difference between N5P and N4 isn't significant compared to architectural differences, and the fact that Apple's architecture is inferior is exactly my point. If the AMD 370 and the Apple M3 are neck and neck, despite Apple being an entire process node ahead (5nm vs 3nm), that shows that Apple's architecture is inferior.
I don't think it's a fair comparison to compare the 27w 370 to the ~50w M2 Pro.
It's true that power efficiency is such a hard metric to compare, especially on laptops and across different operating systems, but that's the point I'm making with the rough figures we have available.
