Too early to draw any conclusions.

Seems like it is using less power than it eventually will. The 12700 takes a big hit to base clocks, but while being a 65W chip, it has a TDP Up of 180W.
Typical intel. How beautiful it is when an 8-core processor is merged with a 16-core processor... :-D
AMD Ryzen 9 5900 (65W) - 34,639
And unlike Intel, 65W actually means something (I think PPT is 88W), not the 65W=202W PL2 12900 has
PS: Notebookcheck seems to be on a bender of cluelessness, comparing SKUs based on naming schemes instead of pricing brackets and power envelopes.
Underwhelming? Intel already stated that RPL would be, at most, 10% faster than ADL. So this is within expectations.
So just last week you guys were relaying "articles" in how RL was destroying Zen 4 chips in benchmarks, and now this.
You guys might want to give a shot at some sort of coherence.
