This is simply false. AMD has recently been ahead in performance/W leading to lower TDP while also being faster than Intel. Mobile AMD chips can be configured down to 10W even with 8c/16t.

I thought the 4000U series was supposed to be more efficient than Intel but still provide higher core counts?
