There has been some discussions here with regards to TDP vs. actual power usage for Ryzen 3000 and Anandtech put up some official details from AMD:

  • Package Power Tracking (PPT): The power threshold that is allowed to be delivered to the socket.
    • This is 88W for 65W TDP processors, and 142W for 105W TDP processors.
  • Thermal Design Current (TDC): The maximum amount of current delivered by the motherboard’s voltage regulators when under thermally constrained scenarios (high temperatures)
    • This is 60A for 65W TDP processors, and 95A for 105W TDP processors.
  • Electrical Design Current (EDC): This is the maximum amount of current at any instantaneous short period of time that can be delivered by the motherboard’s voltage regulators.
    • This is 90A for 65W TDP processors, and 140A for 105W TDP processors.
Make of this what you want, but once again, it shows that TDP is not the same as power draw.
This might also be a useful point of reference when it comes to overclocking, as it seems the 105W might, all other things being equal, overclock better, as they have more power headroom.
