The new Intel chips already addressed that, at least for notebook class devices.

Realistically, there wasn't really a reason for Intel and AMD to be super power efficient, simply because there wasn't any competition for quite a while. It took Apple Silicon to show how powerful arm can be and how easy the transition could be.

Apple took all the old tricks Intel was always way too cheap to use, and turned them to 11.

Nothing magic, nothing special, just balls and the willingness to spend silicon.
