is it ? Most of EPYC processors are TDP 180/200 watt and there are cheap mobos for them that can host even two sockets. So I don't think that would be a big issue. Also we don't even know how they calculate TDP, lets not forget every single company Intel, Amd, Nvidia etc... have their own weird formula to calculate TDP. Your Intel 12900k has TDP on paper of 125W but can easily jump to 300W of power consumed. Without knowing formula for TDP calculation from every manufacturer this type of comparison is only a guessing game.
