Okay got it, so you compared the highest possible TDP on a Pi with the average/idle TDP on a desktop, and you're acting like that's a fair comparison. Thanks for clearing that up!
No... I compared the highest possible TDP on a Pi with with the average TDP of a "T-CPU" (power-optimized) running at full load and I concluded by saying a realistic idle consumption is 11W.
Look I'm sure the Pi does a lot better than 11W idle, but at those such low consumptions is is mostly irrelevant. I also added that given load X (equivalent to the Pi CPU at max load) the Intel CPU will make make it without reaching even the 35W while the Pi is going to be running at a full 27W.
TDP != Power consumption.
