Look at what AMD did with their new Ryzen chips.
They beat out the Intel 9900k (which is 180watt+) and do so at 130watts.

They just had a massive improvement in perf/watt (for their cpu line), and at the same time finally managed to beat intel in cpu performance.

Uh, what? The Ryzen 2700X is almost certainly better value for money than a 9900K, but the latter is pretty decisively ahead performance-wise.

If you're talking about the new third-generation Zen chips they announced, I think it'd probably be best to wait until there are benchmarks from someone other than AMD themselves before making that sort of claim.
