The difference is barely noticeable in daily usage. Power consumption for Intel will be higher since it uses inferior manufacturing process (10nm), thus. of course, AMD wins in power per watt.
What makes it inferior? I am not saying it isn't but you can't just compare the numbers (10 vs. 7). Nowadays, they are pretty much meaningless. What Intel is going to call 7 nm has no relation to what TSMC calls 7 nm. It's just a name.
When it comes to daily light use, a huge factor is power management. That's why Tiger Lake laptops can offer competitive numbers in the web browsing test. And it's not just what the processor can do. You are dealing with such small numbers that a small error in a driver can trash your results. Efficiency of the node itself shows better in high load situations.
