Clear Difference between DFSDM and SAI

In our previous design we were using DFSDM to read the microphone data, but with the STM32WB family there is only SAI PDM port. I read that the SAI consume more power than the DFSDM because it is processing PDM to PCM.

I found also that the DFSDM is more light than the SAI with the acoustic beamforming

I am looking for a clear information about the main difference between these two protocol of communication in matter of CPU resources, computing, performance and power consumption.
