100% chance its chewing through at least 50% more power to achieve the result.
Infact based on their TDP guidance, it goes up to 120w, which is more than double M4. But we don't know what the configuration was for this benchmark. We also don't have great numbers for M4's power consumption either.
Then you throw in the fact 120w TDP from AMD is not actually a power consumption figure... and it's all made up.

If I have to stay tethered to the wall in order to achieve the rated performance then it's not really an apples-to-apples comparison unless you only ever use your laptop at a desk (which is probably most people, honestly).
- ac29 2y agoM4 Max is the most comparable to Strix Halo and while Apple does not appear to give an official power consumption, there are plenty of anecdotal reports of it using over 100W under load. For example: https://www.reddit.com/r/macbookpro/comments/1hj3m0p/m4_max_is_draining_167w_powersystem_total/ https://www.reddit.com/r/macbookpro/comments/1hj3m0p/m4_max_... https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/m4-max-eats-battery.2442981/ https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/m4-max-eats-battery.244...
- wizzard0 2y agoM2 Max discharges in 2-3h when running ML models, and plugged into 140W brick. M4 is likely more power efficient, but not 2x.
