More specifically, it's the sustained power limit used as a target parameter for the processor's power management control loop. It's not a measurement of any specific workload, and doesn't take into account any part of the system outside the Intel chip; DRAM, display, storage, etc. are not included. And laptop OEMs have some leeway to tweak those power limits, and wide variation in their cooling systems so the achievable power draw within safe temperature limits can be quite different.
