less power = less performance

That's the general tradeoff but not how it always works.

A car generally trades power for fuel consumption but things like tires being properly inflated can help with both. In the same way, sometimes inefficient software leads to both reduced performance and higher power consumption, because too much power is being directed towards unproductive use.
