If you’re selling server chips you’re likely selling to clients who are gonna do their own tests and trials under their use cases anyways. They aren’t even gonna look at numbers supplied by the manufacturer.
And if you advertise power consumption for those kind of workloads (100% usage) to regular consumers, who are probably gonna buy 1 computer every 3-5 years, you’re disincentivized from optimizing the kind of stuff that have seen real gains, such as designs that aggressively and cheaply turn on/off systems, or clever decisions to run the chip slower than its max output to improve power consumption, without making an impact noticeable by a human user.
