Question Ryzen 5 5600u + 3050 laptop idle power consumption is almost the same as Ryzen 5 5600x + 3070ti desktop. (Both in low power mode), Help.

So My desktop which has a Ryzen 5 5600x + 3070ti uses roughly 80 to 90 watts during idle and peaks to 130 to 160 watts sometimes when I open Chrome and do stuff (monitor power consumption included). To reduce some power consumption I thought to use the laptop and connected it to the monitor for programming. But my Ryzen 5 5600u + 3050 laptop during idle uses 70 ish watts in idle and peaks to 110 to 130 watts(monitor power consumption included) which is close to the usage of the desktop. I am curious to know how. I thought my laptop would consume significantly less power than the desktop. Kindly help. Thanks.
