tldr: diminishing returns on performance gain for power consumption

In one Blender rendering benchmark, the i9-14900KS consumed 31 percent more power than the i9-14900K for a less than 1 percent performance gain. The gap isn't always quite that large, but the power usage increase is generally disproportionate to the performance increase.

it's even worse when you also look at the 65w versions (which also don't need elaborate cooling solutions. just a noctua or similar) of the same chip. 14900(f) vs 'k' vs 'ks'
