Your power readings are wrong. You need to setup DC LL properly from the bios to get accurate power readings

If / when Intel reaches node parity and stacked cache, it’s going to send AMD back to the stone age again.

What benchmarks are those? I can test it, let’s go and see same performance at 2/3 the power.

So you are buying amd cpus that don’t have apo either. Great idea…

Great idea, disable ecores and lose gaming performance…

If you like tuning your CPU, then yeah, a tuned 12900k (mostly memory tuning, the rest stock) is as fast as the 7800x 3d in most popular games (TLOU , Cyberpunk, Spiderman remastered, hogwarts , Starfield etc.). A 14900k is way faster than that. Also, as you said yourself - longevity.
