The Raspberry Pi 4 with no cooler was actually 3 Mbits/s faster. The Raspberry Pi 5 was 0.9 Mbits/s faster.

The table shows the reverse. One of them must be backwards. Which is actually faster?

The testing methodology is sadly missing. The article mentions that the measurements were taken after 5 minutes of running an unspecified stress test, but neither the precise test, nor the resulting power dissipation were specified. Based on my experience, power dissipation can vary a lot, depending on these details.

Regarding wifi performance, perhaps looking at some of the stats in ethtool -S <device> or netstat -s <device> would be a little more revealing than throughput, but I'm not speaking from experience. I rarely use my Linux systems with wifi.
