Overall the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U was about 12% faster than the Core i7 1165G7 Tiger Lake processor for the large variety of benchmarks carried out.

During the span of the 124 benchmarks conducted, here are the CPU package power consumption metrics. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U indeed stuck to its default TDP reporting of 15 Watts while the peak was recorded at 28.4 Watts.

Overall the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U and Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen2 has been working out very well under Linux and stay tuned for additional follow-up tests in the coming days/weeks. At $1299 USD this AMD Ryzen ThinkPad is a hell of a steal but even at its current pricing around $1900 it is a robust Linux laptop with 8 cores / 16 threads, 32GB of RAM, and 4K display that can work out quite well for a mobile development system and related tasks.
