I don't think all that matters because the 91W TDP is at the base clock. So if we are talking about / guessing the TDP of the 6C chip, it will be taken from the base clock as well.7700K's turbo clocks are as follows:
1 core: 4.5GHz
2 core: 4.4GHz
3 core: 4.4GHz
4 core: 4.4GHz
It runs at 4.5GHz on all cores on most Z270 boards because the mobo makers build in a feature that just runs all of the cores at 4.5GHz -- the top single core turbo speed.
They can get away with this because they know each of the cores is validated to run at 4.5GHz, so there is no stability risk.
If a 4C 14nm+ chip with a base clock of 4.2 has a TDP of 91W, then I think it's certainly possible that a 6C 14nm++ chip might have a similar base clock at a little higher TDP, say 95W.
But again, I don't expect Intel to deliver such a chip. I expect them to get close, though.
We do have KL-X at 112W TDP with the same base clock, but I'm not sure that matters.
