Power consumption can only really be compared at the same performance level (IMO) - though I guess it depends on if you plan to tweak the processor defaults.

One of my biggest bugbears is people using maximally clocked processors (such as the i9) as indicative of power efficiency in general. Processors use way more power for those last few hundred megahertz.

I don't think this release is all that impressive, tbh. Fairly minor upgrade all told, and not an upgrade at all for those of use who value performance more then efficiency (admittedly, you can eke out some small improvement via PBO)
