@Chicken Patty - https://www.cpubenchmark.net/CPU_mega_page.html Click on Power Perf. at the top to sort it ascending or descending. That is power/performance ratio. The higher the number, the more efficient the chip is compared to others. As @alucasa mentioned, AMD chips do run a higher than their TDP, problem with that is that they will also produce more heat which may gain a couple extra watts in fans trying to cool them down. With crunching, even a 5w fan running 24/7 can increase your yearly electric bill a few dollars.
As mentioned in another thread, I use a J1900 for my 24/7 crunching. It was rated at 10w, has 4 cores and a benchmark of around 1800. The rig uses 30w when all is said and done. Running 24/7 costs me around $5 a month which is nickles and dimes. It doesn't score me a lot of points, but keeps me in the run. In the winter time, I purposely run high wattage performance machines to heat up some rooms, but that is more off topic.
I too was looking into Ryzen and hoping it was going to bring my numbers up with minimal cost. The Intel i7-7700T is a major consideration of mine for crunching because it is a TDP of 45w and the single thread rating I feel will earn me more points with less runtime where as a Ryzen 7, 5, or threadripper will get me a lot of runtime, but not as many points per Watt. The 7700T benches about 4000 points behind the 65w 1600 and 1700 Ryzen chips, but uses almost half of the electricity when it is all said and done. It is also a couple bucks less than the 1700, but 100 more than the 1600, so doing the math you may break even with a 24/7 run over a matter of years.
I have been doing greener builds since getting my own place and continue to crunch with them. If you have any questions, I have a ton of resources that can help you make the right decision.
I would also recommend you get a watt-o-meter to measure your current rig. They also tell you how many Kwh reached during a full run, which will help you a lot with determining how much you are using now and how much you will be in the future. I purchased mine for $30 on newegg, but calculations it performed already payed for itself in the world of crunching. Also I found it on Amazon for $18 -_-
