One thing to keep in mind is that power consumption while gaming is a lot less than in an all core workload and the results there are quite impressive even if the power draw is still higher than Ryzen counterparts.
Remember, the i5 is a 14 core CPU (6P 8E) that is priced similarly to a 6 core CPU from Ryzen. It will obviously draw more power but the bang per buck it gives you is insane imo. It's a chart topper for gaming and almost as fast as a 5950x in rendering.
The 13600k is like 20% faster than 7700x in rendering but it's priced to compete against the 7600x and against that, it's like 55% faster for $30 more while saving big money on Z690 boards...
