It's hard to understand how Intel made this oversight. I mean, I could get it if it were 10%, but 50%? How could they miss it?

I would love to see some comparison of the battery life with and without DTT. Maybe deactivating DTT will tank the battery life?

Given how it goes from using around 35W to almost 55W, I'd say that yes, battery life will drop like a rock.

I hope Intel brings some IPC gains with its 13th gen besides the rumored higher clocks (up to 5.8GHz), because if they don't...This also tells us that Zen4 will be a fair bit faster than the 5800X3D, otherwise AMD wouldn't have launched it.

The much enhanced cache should do the trick for Intel in a similar way as it enhances the performance of the 5800X3D. Even if there are no other changes (apart from the number of e-cores), that would already be a nice uptick. I just wonder if Raptor Lake will consume more or less power than a Threadripper...

I didn't know Intel was also taking pages from AMD's strategy to add more cache to its chips, both CPUs and GPUs.

As for the power consumption... well, the 12900KS gets close to the the highest Threadripper 3000 series so, with even more E-cores, higher frequencies and bigger caches, it's not out of the equation, even on a smaller node.
