>efficient x86 CPUs

The new "Snapdragon Dev Kit for Windows" has a power brick rated at 180W. That new "Snapdragon X" chip has the power efficiency of an Intel processor.

Does the TDP here refer to the CPU specifically or the whole package?

I couldn't find more information about this on the internet, but normally TDP is only for the CPU/SoC.
