I would expect this.

The TPM doesn't even see a 'soft reboot' right?

OTOH, a 'cold boot' hits the TPM Init pin, which causes the take several
actions.  Probably the one with the most impact is resetting the state
of self test.  Thus, the TPM will require a function to be self tested
before it can be used, adding delays.
