Core i9-13900KS consumes 150W with 24 cores (8P+16E) so an average of 6.25 watts per core which is less than a Pentium 90, a 1994 CPU running at 90Mhz in absolute is not a 20x worse TDP, but it is relatively to the gain in frequency and performances (more than 20x actually) |

No, the 13900KS has a nominal "TDP" of 150W. That's a marketing number, not a measurement and not even a control target parameter for the default boost management settings. Out of the box, a 13900KS in a typical desktop motherboard will happily draw more than twice that, indefinitely, if you can cool it and have a workload that can actually keep all of those cores busy: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/18728/13900KS%20Power%20Gr...
If you want to compare per-core power, you either have to use a power number for a workload that's actually loading all the cores, or divide the measured power by the number of cores actually in use.
