AMD is giving Intel a bit of breathing space at the lower end of the product stack, the 7600X price/perf isn't that great when you factor in the requirement for DDR5 + new AM5 socket.
Under load, AMD is still going to be a lot more energy efficient than current gen Intel, even without such a setting. And on idle, the TDP is not really relevant.
In powershell, running some python / dbt uses even less power, mostly dipping below 20W. Really takes a lot to make it work hard. I imagine some Cinebench would get it going!
