Difficult to benchmark, but ... people are switching to ARM. You've heard of the M1 right?

Or maybe x86 CPUs were until recently designed with performance in mind instead of energy/eff and Intel+AMD were slower at going into that direction?

Just wait until Lunar Lake is released in this year. It should be x86 energy eff CPU

Intel chips have been in laptops for literally decades. I don't think that can be the reason.

In any case there's not a huge difference between power efficiency and maximum performance, especially today, because maximum performance is generally power/cooling limited.

Everything is about what goals the engineers had at the time.
