Energy efficiency doesn't necessarily comes from being better on full load. Smartphonechips provide tons of power saving mechanisms, true but also are quite limited on how they operate.

I assume that generic code on a x86 desktop cpu should be more efficient by watt/work in comparison on a mobile chip. I'm also not sure how a smartphone is rated for 100% cpu load 24/7
