Actually, I agree with the sibling commenter that power consumption is not a good predictor of whether a chip is entry level. Estimate of TDP for the M1 silico

Actually, I agree with the sibling commenter that power consumption is not a good predictor of whether a chip is entry level. Estimate of TDP for the M1 silicon are about 20-24W [0]. The i7-1185G7E can be offered at anywhere within 12-28W TDP [1]. This 12-28W figure is exactly the same for the i3-1115G4E [2]. Yes, there's some trickery in Intel's TDP numbers, but based on Anandtech's results for that i7 [3], it looks like lower TDP means that you can't burst for as long.
