Intel "Bartlett Lake" Appears as a P/E-Core Hybrid, P-Core Only CPUs Could Soon Follow

That's because e-cores aren't efficient with power, only with die area. One p-core takes up the same space as a cluster of 4 e-cores, so e-cores are a nice way to increase core count and MT performance, but they throw power economy out of the window. I have a feeling that the 12 p-core design will consume less power than Raptor Lake does, unless Intel decides to overvolt it to the moon.

Which they probably will given how desperate they are. Even after the microcode fix on Raptor Lake, I feel 1.55V is way too high for 7nm-class silicon.

Maybe. I just want to see BTL at safe temps with a reasonably-sized cooler. We'll see when it comes out, I guess.

Non k chips will do that, like they did every gen. No shot with the k chips, those are meant to be hitting their face against the voltage limit.

To be fair, the newly released chips for edge are all 65w or lower parts (Not sure what the voltage is, but it is presumably lowered too). If Intel follows the same principle for the P core chips, you may get your wish. Then again, if Intel releases Bartlett Lake S as edge chips, we may not see them in retail, which would be unfortunate.

CPUs should be controlled by the BIOS, not software, imo.

You do know what the role of the operating system is, right? It's literally the thing that manages resources...
That's its job. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system

I'd encourage you to read up a bit on computer architecture too.

I know that, but what use is it if I still have to install other software to control my CPU?
