not directly comparableAMD TDP, AMD PPT, Intel Base Power (PL1) and Max Turbo Power (PL2) are different metrics and are not compared with each other. For laptop CPUs, the laptop maker configures the TDP.
“More” does not always mean “better”: higher power draw or size is a system requirement, not an advantage (such bars are dimmed).
