it doesn't use 150w more, if you want to be concise be concise about a facet, talk about the workload and the power consumption per workload, most computers sit idle and as commenters are pointing out AMD has 2x the power draw at idle, amd doesn't seem to respect the pl1 power limits per Ars and is less power efficient for those who care about power efficiency, run the pl1 at 125W and intel burns less and performs the same for less power draw while working, on a 2 node disadvantage. And being concise about the cores requires you to talk about the core types, 2/3 of the 24 cores are little cores, one could say intel is performing the same with 1/2 the equivalent big cores, 8 vs 16 on the top part. It's more nuanced.
