> There is a reason why wall-power is included for Intel and M1 reviews but very rarely for AMD, including in AnandTech's reporting,

So now you're casting aspersions, too? The AnandTech article you've referred to numerous times explains exactly why wall power measurements were not included for the AMD chip, and the reason is not what you're trying to insinuate.

As for your point about charger efficiency: there's more than one step of voltage conversion to get from AC wall power to the CPU die. The losses at each step add up.
