It's correct that TDP is getting more relative¹, but it's not correct that we're talking of corner cases. Anandtech locked an i9-9900k to 95W, and the loss was considerable (between 8 and 28%)².
¹: it needs to be noted that in the last years, Intel's TDP is getting "much more relative" than AMD's

- pingyong 7y agoIntel TDP always had the same meaning: "If your cooler can dissipate TDP, the CPU will run all-core loads at base clock speed, or a single-core loads at boost-clock speed." - Pretty sure that statement has always been true, within +- 100 MHz depending on the specific workload. The distance between base and boost clocks has just increased over the years.
