I wouldn't put too much stock into that. In some games it may be true that there is a GPU limit but there are also many other games where that is not the case. Anandtech did testing below 720p to really make sure GPU bottleneck wasn't a thing:

So I wouldn't get your hopes up outside of a few cases.

Also if they did lower the TDP, then it would have fallen behind the lower tier Alder Lake which is why I am sure AMD set it so high to begin with.

Their test literally just showed that there is a GPU limit and that the X3D can push harder against it with it's large cache. If there wasn't a GPU limit, then there would be more of a progression instead of stalling from the 5600X and up.

Except you can clearly see there is an improvement between 7600X and 7950X Red Dead 2 and not to mention in Far Cry 5, the Intel is also ahead...
