From what I've seen, the lowest power (well, TDP) that AMD targets is 15-28W (e.g., AMD Ryzen™ AI 5 330). They do not really have an equivalent to the N-chips of intel, which are all Gracemont E-cores (severely cut down in performance). The zen 4c/5c cores are not really equivalent to the Intel E cores (much more powerful), hence they do not have a core that targets a low performance + low power target such as intel N100/N150. The competitor for those would be ARM.
ARM is a potential option, but x86 can be pretty nice to have.
