Exactly, the apple chips excel at low power tasks and will consume basically nothing doing them. It's also good for small bursty tasks, but for long lived intensive tasks it behaves basically the same as an equivalent x86 chip. People don't seem to know that these chips can easily consume 80-90W of power when going full tilt.
The new Intel Arrow Lake is supposed to max out at 150W, but it doesn't. And that's still almost 40% better than previous gen Intel!
So hovering around 80-90W max is pretty modest by today's standards.
That's impressive, or should I say scary? 150w is a lot of heat to dissipate... I hope those aren't laptop chips...
The 14900k is an absolute oven
