Anecdotally, my Zen 3 5900X rated at 105W TDP, sitting kind of idle (with a dozen or so programs open, task manager showing 1% usage) is drawing about 11W.

I do seem to recall a AGESA update (motherboard firmware) that did managed to reduce the IOD power usage when idle. Sad that it was months after most of the reviews came out.
