> btw. my m1 mac barely goes over 40 w TOTAL power (whole machine)

The v2718 is an embedded Zen2 SoC with a Vega GPU that totals 10-25wCDP. Adding RAM and a main board to that might add 10w, give or take.

> heck watching prime video my total power is at ~10w total power.

Watching video is probably one of the most efficient tasks you can do these days, especially since most of it is offloaded to specialized decoders in the GPU (of which AMD, Apple, nvidia, Intel, etc all provide).

> trust me no matter which ryzen/intel processer you will never be as low as 10w total power.

They literally exist. There’s just no market for them. The sweet spot for PC users is around 15-25w for laptops. The loss in performance below that is generally something people are dissatisfied with.
