I think people are conflating watts and amps, watts measure power, amps measure flow. Watts = amps * volts. High power usage with low voltages results in high amperage.

Even so, in this very case the amps are higher than the watts(!) as the voltage is below 1V.

If Vcore is near 1 volt, then the magnitude difference between amps and watts is pretty small for the sort of discussion we are h aving
