The 13900k is indeed a power hog in games, that's why I don't have it anymore, went back to my 12900k. But it needs to be said that also the 13900k is incredibly efficient in productivity unless for some reason you decide to run it power unlimited at 300 watts. But why would you do that is beyond me. It's the 2nd most efficient cpu in Mt workloads so...You can look at it that way and argue about a 20 W difference. Or you can look at the 13900K eating up to 150 Watts when you play in CPU-limited scenarios. Your choice.
Then maybe you shouldn't buy one of the most power-hungry CPUs in existence.
