Beats me if I know. It says expected, but it is not clear under what load. Maybe average, or typical. Another quote:

"The values are expressed in amps; they are not intended to convey final product power levels; they may not match the power levels specified in the Power and Thermal Datasheets. These fields, may be subsequently altered by software; they do not affect the hardware behavior. These fields are encoded as follows:

IddDiv Current Equation Current Range
00b IddValue / 1 A 0 to 255 A
01b IddValue / 10 A 0 to 25.5 A
10b IddValue / 100 A 0 to 2.55 A"

4x20A * 1.2V = 96W , sounds familiar ? It would be interesting to check these values for 9700.
