This is false!
We've discussed this issue with AMD's engineers. In the end it has been proven that both HWiNFO and AIDA64 show correct power consumption and their uProf engineers didn't implement power measurement properly. I had to explain them how to correctly perform measurement of their own APUs. Shame!

I have just tried AMD uProf on Thinkpad E485 with R7 2700U. Good news is, it indeed shows 25W in full gaming/benchmark load. Bad news - it seems unlikely that future power management updates will unlock significantly higher performance if real TDP is 25W now. R5 2500U seems to be a more rational choice now.

According to AMD, third-party analytical tools may not be giving correct information on Raven Ridge SoCs like the Ryzen 5 2500U or Ryzen 7 2700U. It's unknown if popular tools like HWInfo or AIDA64 would ever be updated to fully support Raven Ridge SoCs. For now, AMD μProf is the only reliable method.
