Why do you think only about power efficiency? Desktop is not limited by TDP as high as 15W laptops. Yes, RocketLake @ 5GHz will consume +20% more power than Skylake, probably around 200W. But who cares? We talk about same kind of product like 9900KS, don't we?
So I'm going to assume for the rest of this post that Willow Cove is as efficient as Sunny Cove, even though we know it's not. It's more efficient.
By this point, you're now assuming that Intel's 10nm is only 20% more efficient than their 14nm for the same architecture. You're talking about a 2.7x density increase going from 14nm to 10nm and claiming only a <20% power efficiency improvement.
Bollocks. Complete and utter bollocks.
