Yes, power equals power in terms of magnitude, but it depends on context and units.

it was close to 90W without the PBO, right? A new design doesn't necessarily mean a big speed boost without using more power—maybe just a slight or moderate increase. But definitely not a huge jump. The new CPU with double cores and threads, same architecture, still manages to cut its power consumption by about 40% compared to the previous one.
Chiplets are arranged with varying die thicknesses using different styles like 8nm and 10nm, among other factors. There are numerous reasons behind these differences. It's also crucial to remember that each manufacturer measures TDP differently, making those numbers quite subjective. (Hope some experts provide unbiased data soon.) A CPU contains countless components, which makes it challenging to pinpoint a single cause. There are billions of transistors, so many possibilities exist.
The sentence you mentioned was quite challenging to read. I didn’t include any details about the layout, and there’s no mention of a different CPU being used. It seems the focus was on potential variations in cooling performance rather than hardware differences.
