Yes, but wasn’t most of that because its performance was low? If you had dialed back the performance of an equivalent Pentium (model whatever was current at that time), would it have been in the same power ballpark?

No, there was no way to "dial back" performance in any meaningful way. This was before CPU throttling was really a thing.
