On paper, your Celeron is specified to run at 6 W max[1], and of course has 4 cores; that's 1.5 W/core.

The AnandTech article says[2] that the new Cortex-A76 can run with a power budget of 750 mW/core, which is exactly half of the Celeron's, then.

How does it translate in terms of performance in day to day tasks. I mean browsing, using productivity apps (etc). Do you think the extra instructions found on x86 can actually compensate the power hungry. Therefore, making x86 a more efficient architecture ?

Those 6w are a lie, the same way a core-m chips having 4.5 tdp, which in reality go as far as 17.5w.

so the TDP is a gross average measure ?

TDP today is a marketing measure. Intel's real datasheets clearly state TDP of 17.5 Watts.

turbos...
