GPU averages:
   5.3.0-19: 0.10W
   5.3.0-23: 7.19W

ACPI thermal zone:
   5.3.0-19: 38.92 C
   5.3.0.23: 68.65 C

So, not much difference in CPU loading or in C10/C8 states, but it is clocked faster on the -23 kernel and is 11.7W more power being consumed. The GPU is also consuming far more power in the -23 kernel. The ACPI thermal zone is ~30 degrees hotter, hence the fan activity.

Given the kernel changes I provided made no changes, this looks like a i915 regression somehow. I'll see what has changed there.
