HiGH Power Consumption of AMD GPUs @ video playback ?

Last Gen's 6800 (and up) AMD GPUs & the new 7000 series have serious power issues @ video playback (youtube, Netflix, video players etc.)
40+ W is stupidly HiGH + meaningless... and while the previous 6700 XT consumes only 16W, the new 7700 XT doubles that power draw with a whooping 33W on "video playback"
AMD should have solved that "power issue @ video playback" on the current Gen but it's gotten worse...

I still have 96 watts just at the windows screen. Good times.

Been that way since launch, and still that way today. I know its fixed for many, but, not here.
