The A12 draws 4W when all four big cores are maxed out. Not 4W per big core. That's 4x the performance per watt of your comparable Intel or AMD parts.

And the A13 then actually regresses on perf/watt and hits 6W in a few tests https://www.anandtech.com/show/14892/the-apple-iphone-11-pro-and-max-review/4 https://www.anandtech.com/show/14892/the-apple-iphone-11-pro... This isn't unique to Apple, either. The "big" cores in ARM CPUs have been pulling 2-4W for years and years. That's why thermal throttling is such a major issue in mobile, especially mobile games.
