I don’t know about the 20-25W figure, but I do know that Intel’s TDP figures are not maximum TDP like Apple’s are. Intel chips are well known for blowing through that TDP under load, whereas the M1* figures are absolute, as far as I have read.

In short, 35-45W is a pipe-dream if you’re pushing the chip. I personally doubt it gets near 200W though…
