The test was perfectly fair because they used the CPU as delivered, as the average user would use it.
Nobody is buying these CPUs to overclock them to a specific power usage. They're either running them stock or running them at whatever comfortable overclock they can get away with.
Test stock versus stock and overclocked versus overclocked. Trying to normalize to specific power consumption doesn't make sense for enthusiast builds.

Because for enthusiast builds it makes a lot of sense. Why would you set up "enthusiast" level cooling that can handle 200W and higher, and then keep your CPU set to the default 135W? At that point one should be buying prebuilt and hope the manufacturer properly sets up the system, because one clearly can't.
