The 9950X is 170w, I'm sure it'll still have decent performance with a little de-tuning. That's way more efficient than my 14700K and all the cores are the same size too! With extra threads even.
TDP numbers are meaningless to Ryzen for power draw. The default PPT is 230W for AM5 16-core.
Although, who knows. If Intel is getting bogged down in the Raptor Lake fiasco instead of pushing out the real goodies on time, then maybe AMD can afford to sit on its ass for a generation, pull back the clocks, and keep the minimal gains going for the rest of the Granite Ridge lineup.
Of course. Even at 140W any of them should still do well. Just don't forget that rest-of-system power draw is not insubstantial.
9950X3D probably has more hope for carrying the efficiency torch.
