There (from the same author, I am only linking to his posts) you have CPU and power consumption data: https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/plasma-6-4-performance-wayland-x11-power-cpu-kernel.html > Heck, was any attempt made to repeat things? There he did the same kind of benchmarks on a different computer with a different GPU vendor: https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/wayland-vs-x11-performance-nvidia-graphics.html > They used "the same set of programs" but didn't actually enumerate what > those were (or the workloads).

And there he benchmarked some specific workloads: video decoding (at 4K resolution) and WebGL rendering (the latter uses 3D graphics indeed): https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/wayland-vs-x11-performance-amd-graphics.html And the result is always the same: X11 is faster and consumes less power and other resources.
