I think your data is not correct. H-series CPUs from Intel always had 35W-45W TDP. Now, you write here that a single core will consume 20-25W... That will make TDP of 200W when all cores are running. That doesn't make any sense at all.

I don’t know about the 20-25W figure, but I do know that Intel’s TDP figures are not maximum TDP like Apple’s are. Intel chips are well known for blowing through that TDP under load, whereas the M1* figures are absolute, as far as I have read.
In short, 35-45W is a pipe-dream if you’re pushing the chip. I personally doubt it gets near 200W though…

Intel has always used TDP as normal TDP under baseline usage. They have now introduced a term called Turbo Power or previously known as PL2, when you max out the CPU to better reflect on true TDP.
And I should have wrote it better. It was compared to i9-12900K on Desktop which has a Turbo Power of 240W.
But on a single core basis, the difference should be minimal. The Mobile CPU will still uses ~20W max assuming information and Geekbench number being equal. We will have to wait for final review to confirm.
