I think I wasn't clear, sorry about that. What I meant is that even if you run both at the wattage, the 4090 would still pull way ahead in most situations. The performance per watt is higher, and in both cases it seems like Amd and Nvidia cranked the power way higher even if it meant hitting diminishing returns. A 4090 running at 400w isn't much more performant than a 4090 running at 290-300w. In both cases though, you are right that they are both absolute hogs. If thermals are a concern, these are pretty much unusable.
