Thought 660 for some reason
Not sure why CPUs are singled out so readily for being power hogs. They're often sitting next to 300w GPUs and indications are that will be increasing to 400w GPUs soon.
I own a 5600X… it's a fantastic sweet spot chip. But when I see it's low energy consumption clinching arguments, I think of the townsfolk in the South Park episode where they're all driving Prius's and snorting their own smug farts.

No offense to anyone in particular, but a lot of "these" folks appear unsufferable.
People well off, with high enough budget for top of the line/performance CPUs and GPUs/etc will sit there and pretend that extra few watts will make or break their entire lives...
Anyway,
On topic:
I have and run both, AMD 5600x, and the new i7 12700kf in a couple of my home PCs.
Without writing a novel here, I can tell you this: at idle both do the same thing, at "normal" loads and gaming the AMD 5600x is only 65W, and tops out 50-52 degrees Celsius (NH-D15 cooler here), with slight undervolt.
The i7 goes to 80-90W on average under "normal" load and gaming here, and runs at 50-58 degrees Celsius (same cooler as above). Yes, the i7 will go full power ("never go full retard!") at all core load, maxed out.......but, how many of you run your rig @ full multicore load 24/7?
Don't answer....b/c if you do, you should also know that you chose the wrong CPU/PC architecture for the job.
Ppl with 'enough' $$$ in their pockets....buy the best/desired components, tweak your systems a bit to run the best power/performance ratios you can, enjoy your systems and you life in general.
Wanna save the planet? Go plant a tree instead.

Side note:
Gaming differences b/w them?
New/multicore/aaa games.....i7 on average seems to yield 10-20% more FPS.
CS:GO.....i7 gets me 200+ more FPS (400-650 FPS on 5600x - vs - 550-900FPS on i7 ....on 'dust2' at 1440p).

-edit: why the thumbs down…? You guys experience poor performance due to an evident RAM bottleneck on the regular? I don't believe it haha!
I didn't thumb down though. I'm on classic interface so I can only give reps.
Read/watch all the reviews-they're accurate.
My CPU-Z single core scores:
AMD 5600x= 635
Intel i7 1200kf= 832
My Intel is undervolted by .75V and boosted to 5.1Mhz P-cores and 4.0Mhz E-cores.
My AMD....I think it's PBO'd by 200, and undervolted as well - I just don't even remember anymore what I did to it (it's my daughter's PC now).

"My 5600X rocks. My AMD rocks. Yes.
