They are very close. Intel has many x86 chips consuming 3-4W: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_M_microprocessors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_M_microproc... Some older Atoms were under 1W.
> the reason why ARM is so utterly dominant on mobile
The economy. When you sell complex chips for $10, you have to sell a lot of them to return R&D costs. That's why they shut down cheap Atoms introducing Core M series: technically the two are close in many respects, but Atoms were sold for $10-20, core M's for $200-300.
