While I do think 13900k is a bit of a joke with those power figures, the 13600k looks pretty insane.

It does still sip a lot of watts, especially if you truly push it:

But I think in gaming even without unlocking the power limits, it will be very competitive. Techpowerup does have gaming figures but theirs look a tad too Intel favoured compared to other review outlets so I'd get a second opinion on that. Regardless of which, for $330, you are getting close to 5950x in multi-theaded performance while being close to the top in gaming charts.
