200% would be double the power, i.e. Carrizo requires more than double the power (233%) to reach far less than the half the performance (33%) more. This is absolutely remarkable.
And makes it clear immediately why AMD claims Carrizo to be (relatively) more efficient at 15 watts. It means the currency of "electricity" is increasingly loosing value above of 15 watts. Such a thing is otherwise called runaway hyper-inflation.
It is not explicitly specified which thermal design power budget of the cpu was used to perform the test. Since these tests always want to determine the maximum performance it is plausible, if it is assumed that the tests were conducted under conditions, under which the CPU can deliver their maximum performance (regardless of the efficiency) namely at 35W TDP. A lower configured TDP should be explicitly declared. Otherwise, the whole test basically is worthless.
On the other hand there are three results to 3D Mark 11 at various TDP figures, two results with specified TDP details (see above) and a test result with unknown TDP (see below). If we assume a performance increase linear to the TDP and vice versa, we can calculate the unknown TDP simply as follows:
35 - 15 = 20
2359 - 1764 = 595
595 / 20 = 29.75 Points per tdp-watt
2181 - 1764 = 417
417 / 29.75 = 14.02
15 + 14.02 = 29.02 Watt
Therefore, the test was performed with a TDP configured at approximately 30 watts. Taking into account the ratio of the increases of TDP and performance, so the thing is as follows:
100 / 233 = 100 / 133
233 / 133 = 1.75
100 / 1764 * 2181 = 216.5%
15 Watt / 100% * 216.5% = 32.475 Watt
Therefore, the test was performed with a configured TDP of between 29 Watts and 32 watts.
