Also, TDP is a spec point with a lot of BS. Intel's TDP is widely mocked for being far under the actual maximum power draw of the chip. I don't know how Apple is working out their TDP but it's almost certainly different to Intel. But then if you have accurate numbers it's still not a great measure because cores are at their least efficient when maxed out (like desktop CPUs usually are and laptop CPUs usually aren't), so it's a comparison which is unfair to intel and you should really compare the real power consumption of an intel CPU when clocked to get equivalent performance to an M1.
