Power consumption figures are kinda misleading because most of them use synthetic benchmarks instead of realistic gaming load, this goes for all the mid-range/high end LGA1700 chips

Techpowerup does have a separate category for gaming power consumption, and their review puts the 13600k at 74w on stock settings while 7700 draws 58w and 7600 draws 47w across the same games, so it's definitely worse but not the enormous difference you see on written down specs

And Intel cpus have a big advantage over AMD when it comes to light tasks, they can do stuff like web browsing, watching videos etc. at a very minimal power draw (5-10w) while AMD chips idle at 30-35w as a baseline because of the chiplet design, this is actually my main worry about 15th gen from intel since they're reportedly switching to chiplet as well
