It's only when you're actively computing stuff that it'll go hard and heavy at 200w. 9800x3d has 30w idle, 9950x3d has something like 34w idle.
So... I guess just don't be running any crypto miners or similar in the background with unlimited CPU draw, and it should basically be the same power as any other AMD chip.
It'll just get through whatever you do run faster, but with about the same net power draw per flop.

The 9950x3d does have more power draw and heat then the 9800x3d when gaming. In all circumstances.
The main circumstance is to use software or bios settings to limit games to just 8cores (known as ccd 0 since they have 3d vcache) . The other 8 cores (ccd 1) do not. This improves game performance by up to 30% in some games under some settings and reduces heat and power draw drastically.
In rare cases also turning off hyper threading will help to reduce heat so there's more thermal headroom particularly in the 9950x3d variant. However the low 1% takes a hit in many games under many settings without hyperthreading
Where the 9950x3d shines is when you're running other things on the other 8 cores that you aren't gaming on such as streaming, or discord, or pretty much anything else.
Now the discussion about 240fps/480fps. I've been playing at 240hz for 6 months. And I tried to play at 120hz and now it looks like a slide show. My monitor also supports 480hz 1080p however on small maps I still get around 400fps on large maps 320fps with lows of 300fps, I can absolutely tell the difference between 320fps and 240fps. I was able to turn my sensitivity way up because I can see more visual updates while turning and see enemy changes as I'm turning. That's a huge win in modern gaming.
This issue didn't exist 10 years ago when 144hz was the new new, but close quarters, fast reactions benefit greatly in the 240 to 320fps range. However you'll be happy to know the 400fps range. I cannot tell the difference between 400 and 320. But when I turn on frame gen just to see 480. It looks like there is absolutely no images missing in between at all, however I pay the price in a minor latency cost. Which defeats the purpose. It's not THAT bad. Like it feels like I'm playing with 120hz latency but 480fps visuals.
But trust me. 320fps no latency is the good stuff. If you can get to 240hz it's probably the best of all worlds because the low 1% at 240 and average 240 and screen settings 240hz. All matching together is the smoothest possible gameplay with no variance. Im on a 4080 super with a 9950x3d. I hope the information helps.

I can guarantee you there are people that can feel the difference. And anything that lowers latency is welcome.
