HWiNFO for some reason does not accurately report the GPU power consumption in AMD APUs. Proof?
Here:
This is running Prime95. As you can clearly see, package power is 45 W(as expected, because long duration power limit is 45 W). CPU Core Power = 36.2 W. CPU SoC Power = 3.9 W. Obviously CPU Core + SoC Power = 40.1 W, which is
NOT GPU power, because this is Prime95.
Now a GPU Load. Furmark:
CPU Package Power = 45.4 W, CPU Core Power = 35.8 W, CPU SoC Power = 4.7 W. CPU Core + SoC Power = 40.5 W
So regardless of a full CPU or a full GPU load, CPU Core Power remains similar, as far as reporting is concerned, and none of the other reported values show the ACTUAL GPU power consumption. Before you ask, what about GPU ASIC power, here's the author of HWiNFO clarifying what it is for APUs:

So, yeah - till now, neither you, nor anybody else, has actually given any evidence for me to believe that running a 3D load like a game on your AMD APU in laptops means that the GPU part of the APU consumes more power than the CPU part.
