The M1 used in the original MacBook Air has a TDP of around 10 watts. I don't track this closely, but AFAIK there aren't any good performing chips on the PC side of the world that can beat that.
I don't really track this directly, but periodically I look for passively cooled (fanless) laptops. I haven't looked into Ryzen, but it would be a very nice surprise if there are fanless Ryzen laptops out there.

- lonjil 3y agoDid you paste the wrong link? That is about M1 Max, which is a very different, much bigger, chip.
- Kuinox 3y agoIndeed the M1 not max draw 30W max, there is a link in the article I sent, my mistake.
- criddell 3y agoThe real world implications of these number matter more than the numbers themselves. If you tell me TDP is a lie, I’ll believe you. However, that doesn’t change the fact that there still aren’t any great fanless laptops from anybody other than Apple. I was attributing it to TDP, but maybe it’s something else.
