That's kind of the point -- the reason it uses more power is that it has more cores, out of which you get higher multi-thread performance.

No, that is clearly not the case given that the TDP of the A17 Pro (10W) is 17 times less than the TDP of the 7950X (170W) while the multi-core performance of the 7950X is only 2.6x that of the A17 Pro.

The reason it uses more power is that it's less efficient. The reason it has higher multi-core performance is that it has four times the number of cores.

Exactly. If we have to explain this in every single discussion we may as well not discuss it.
