In that case, Intel should be in big trouble, because the advertised TDP seems to be less than half the power required to reach the chips' advertised performance:
> In this case, for the new 9th Generation Core processors, Intel has set the PL2 value to 210W. This is essentially the power required to hit the peak turbo on all cores, such as 4.7 GHz on the eight-core Core i9-9900K. So users can completely forget the 95W TDP when it comes to cooling.

In other words
1) Intel's advertised "TDP" = true? (they don't use the same original meaning of the "Total Design Power" anymore)
2) Intel's advertised peak performance = true (with caveats such as all the mitigations required for the CPU flaws, which lower performance)
3) Intel's advertised peak performance at advertised TDP = BIG FAT LIE
