To be fair, comparing mobile CPUs to desktop CPUs on power consumption is basically meaningless, because desktop CPUs will double the power consumption to get a few extra percent on performance, performance per watt be damned.

And it's comparing against the previous generation 12900 instead of the current generation 13900.

And the extra threads on the 12900 are the E-cores, which aren't that fast.

Basically the result is that current gen AMD mobile CPUs are faster than last gen Intel desktop CPUs. Which is true, and not unimpressive, but far less informative than a comparison of like with like would have been.
