What?  Take that elsewhere, while I don't know him at all, I'm willing to bet he personally had as much to do with Germany's actions as you did.  

 

Really though, please, *please* let's not go on political rants.  

Sorry, maybe over the edge. But when you have a elderly neighbors living in 10 degree Celcius (50F) and burning wood like the it's 19th century. And smell of gas reporting in the community because of some gas explosions in our economic zone close to us. Then you get a German who say wrongly what to do to energy reduce. Then you snap.

In fact it's really really bad. TDP has nothing to do with efficiency in idle or transcoding. Every 11th Gen Intel upwards is extremely power hungry. Only for comparison: My 9th gen Xeon 6 core setup consumes 13W without 10g card. 19w with. And I have 8 HDDs in Spin down (each consumes 0.5W). 

If i go your route with Xeon with a dedicated GPU the draw is about the sama (about 40w) as a 12/13gen Intel lake processor with iGPU. 
I'm buying 600 class 12/13 gen Intel with a b660 (z draws more power). In windows it draws 43w in idle benchmarks with unknown PSU and GPU installed. In linux and some efi tweaking you can easily go lower. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asus-strix-b660i-gaming-wifi-review

 

Edit: Found out that they may had a 3070 and platinum PSU and maybe US 120v/less efficient (i do not know where tomshardware are based). I have a Seasonic Titanium (better than platinum) 230v so even better.
Edit 2: And they used 12900K on the test. Lot stronger.
