where did you come up with the 12900K pulling 50W? The 12900K is a 240W-class processor at full boost, so the M1 is pulling 1/6th the power...

(the 12700K is much more reasonable but the 12900K and 12900KS are a "win the benchmarks" SKU and intel turned everything to 11 to get it over the top of the 5900X.)

50W is the single core package power at peak boost (~5.1GHz). M1 single core package power is around 4-7W depending on workload.
