If they develop processors that hit the claimed frequency or a higher under the same TDP, then that means that that same processor can do more work with less energy.
Even processors today that can hit five gigahertz or more with overclocking do not constantly run at max tdp.
High clock speeds are not the same thing as high wattage, they aren’t even really related, or very closely associated. We have no idea what the power usage of these processors will be. They could even end up being more efficient than previous processors, doing more instructions in a shorter period of time then powering back down to idle sooner on the same workload. Yes people might decide to throw more work at them as a result, but that’s not the CPU’s fault, that’s a people problem not a hardware problem.
IF all else remains constant. Which it doesn’t, and isn’t.
Do you have any idea how significant of an improvement it is for AMD to bring their process node to this level? All the variables going to be different here, and it’s too early to tell what that means until we see the actual silicon.
Not even close to true, as others have said we even have chips from AMD that use less power and are faster than even their last gen versions. The 9700x has a tdp of 65w while the 7700x last gen version of this same like is 105w. So no this isn’t true at all.

P=C*V2*f
Power increases linearly with frequency.
2008: Core 2 Quad Q9400 - 4c4t, 2666Mhz @ 95W TDP
2023: N100 - 4c4t, 3400Mhz @
122W6W TDPIF all else remains constant. Which it doesn’t, and isn’t.

I mean, a few years ago we had 1ghz CPUs with a 60w TDP. now you can do 3 or 4 or sometimes even more with the same tdp. it’s not all about the power.
The N100 goes up to 3.4GHz and had a TDP of 6W
wow that’s insanely impressive! I haven’t seen any of those chips in the wild yet so I wasn’t aware of it. super cool stuff
