When you take into account the northbridges the power consumptions are more or less equal:

Single Core:
Intel N270+945= 2.4W+22W= 24.4W
AMD 2650e+780G = 15W+11.4W= 26.4W

Dual Core:
Intel 330+945= 8W+22W= 30W
AMD 3250e+780G= 22W+11.4W= 33.4W

AMD seems to have the advantage here with better performance over the intel counterparts. Intel should pair their atoms with better northbridges to see a "real" low power solution.
as far as i know Intel has a more realistic TDP than AMD so when you analyse those figures take it with a grain of salt
