The CPUs aren't cheap, but they don't cost more than the Mac mini.

The Mac mini will definitely draw more than 20W. TDP numbers can also not be compared between manufacturers at all. And last but not least, for a single core test, maximum power consumption is irrelevant.

OEM price for the Intel one is $599, same cost as an M4 Mini. The AMD one is $649.
