Your processor is fully configurable. Set it to whatever TDP you want; the lower you go, the more efficient it gets.

This is why AMD’s X3D chips are perceived as efficient. They aren’t actually that much more power efficient, but they’re simply configured to stay out of absolutely crazy voltage/clock zones most processors boost to.
