13th gen Intel is quite competitive with M1/M2 in perf per watt.

Peak vs idle is the question.

I haven't seen 13th gen extremely closely. It'll get very, very complicated though.

The performance per watt at the top of the voltage frequency curve for the performance cores, is very different to the voltage frequency curve for the idle cores at base clock.

Especially at low queue depth, infrequent operations.
