Yes, 2 W/core. The difference is that at this power level, the A series chip will be a lot closer to peak performance than the Intel chip. > A 4800HS at it's 4

Yes, 2 W/core. The difference is that at this power level, the A series chip will be a lot closer to peak performance than the Intel chip.
> A 4800HS at it's 4w/core all core load is also still clocking higher than an A12X.
This doesn't mean that much, since the range of efficient clock speeds depends on design choices, so they aren't always 1:1 comparable between architectures. Apple might well increase clock speed on their desktop chips, but unless it's only a few percent, it won't be as simple as pumping more power into the same dies; they have to actually redesign the core to operate efficiently at those higher speeds.
