Not in general. They are both around 60 lm/W. Of course there are exceptions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficacy#Lighting_eff...

60 lm/W is very low these days. Commercially available screw-base A21 bulbs like Cree's "100W replacement daylight" (17,000 lumens at 15W) are up over 110 lm/W. You can get that for $14 at Home Depot.
