A modern high-end GPU can draw upwards of 200w.

Edit: Not sure why I'm being downvoted for stating a simple fact. The top-of-the-line AMD and NVidia cards have TDPs of 200-250w.

Your comment is both true and utterly irrelevant to the person you replied to who asked about comparison between CPU and GPU efficiency.

The important information to answer the question is how much power the GPU will use, not how much it can use.

But how much it can use gives you an upper limit on how much it will use. To boot, that also gives you an idea of how much power one can expect to draw under full load at any given time over any given time frame.

High end desktop CPUs draw around 90W and 200W GPUs can do one or two orders of magnitude more computation in specialised workloads than CPUs.

TDP for the i9-7980 is 165W, and the 1080ti is at 250W
