Just take any 13900K and set PL1 to 36w and PL2 to 106w to match the 13900T or setting them to match the PL1 / PL 2 of the 13900 will do wonders for power and temps with about zero effort. If you want to go further drop LLC to the lowest setting and experiment with dropping voltage or reducing offset. You could certainly get into more elaborate depth than that, but that's easy and simple enough for most anyone with a tiny amount of thinking and effort involved. You can very easily adapt the power limits of either power limits a bit as well to your own usage.
It's a safe bet to assume Intel will realistically push things in both directions towards both lower and higher power usage across the product stack so we'll have Celeron sipping power scenario and Pentium 4 toaster at the top scenario with the KF chip variant.
It's a pity they didn't mention a new chipset for the refresh because if they'd slide in another x4 PCIE lanes that added flexibility would be nice especially if they didn't just try to insert another Gen 5 M.2 automatically, but it would be good either way.
