The Core i9-9980XE pulls from 199W->245W depending on the workload and AVX instructions being used under stock settings. The Ryzen is listed as a 105W part, although when overclocked, I'm sure it will pull more than that. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-core-i9-9980xe-cp...

That means that the Ryzen part can pull ninety-four more watts- and basically double its TDP and still go under what the i9-9980XE will draw.

There also seem to be some new X570 motherboards that will actually support this level of craziness, too.
