I found this a very interesting read, as I always try to get more for less (power or money) with my gear. After reading it I am very surprised Intel went with 241watts for the 12900k, as it seems to present much better with the power limit lower.
Intel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake Tested at Power Limits between 50 W and 241 W
We test Intel's Core i9-12900K at various TDP levels all the way down to 50 W to determine how much efficiency is really in the new Alder Lake core, and how these power limits affect performance. Competing with the efficiency of AMD's Zen 3 Ryzen lineup is just two settings changes away.
