... and we've seen the opposite a lot. Compare 1500X to 7500, 7600 and even 7600K:we've also already seen that Ryzen uses less power.

I still have no idea why people think Ryzens inherently always consume less than Lake CPUs. Even 7900X consumes less than 1920X in the majority of reviews.
P.S. SMT's power hit is rather small; a couple of watts, and is balanced out by i5s higher turbo clocks.
