If you're measuring the draw at the wall, AFAIK desktop Ryzen keeps the chipset running at full power all the time and so even if the CPU is idle, it's hard to drop below, say, ~70W at the wall (including peripherals, fans, PSU efficiency etc).

Apparently desktop Intel is able to drop all the way down to under 10W on idle.
