Which is not particularly important without the context of price, heat, availability, multicore perf, etc. As a whole, there appear to be better values on most fronts, though necessarily when all is combined in some opinionated way. There are certainly good values to be found in the intel world, but I can't think of a time where they have been so comprehensively challenged.

Maybe. My point was more that it's complicated. For example: I couldn't care less about how much power my desktop uses.

Single desktop chips are becoming a niche market. What matters is mobile and server, and both cases require low power consumption.
