All TDPs/max clocks can be tuned up and down, Intel just sets theirs ridiculously high out of the box. You can turn a 7950X into a space heater, or throttle the newest Intel chips to sip power.

Also, idle power is realy awful for my 7800X3D. It's way better with Intel.

...That being said, you are not wrong about linux compatibility. And the X3D chips in particular really hit a task energy sweet spot in the right workloads.
