Those comparisons are using a water cooling rig which already blows out the idle power budget. 60W is in no way typical of PC idle power. Your basic Intel PC draws no more power than a laptop, low single digits of watts at the load, low tens of watts at the wall. My NUC12, which is no slouch, draws <5W at the wall when the display is off and when using Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet.
