7900x is considerably less power efficient than the 9900x though, performing slower and drawing more power

Look at the idle power draw. The 9900 is higher and the performance is not that much better.

Lower power use by the 9900x across the board, idle included. If your focus is lower idle use though, either are clearly not good choices

Hmm you’re right. It looks like it CAN draw more power but under the same load would draw less. How did I make that mistake? Thanks for correcting me.
