2. Both can be configured in BIOS - you can actually force Intel CPUs to respect any wattage, even not to exceed their actual TDP.
3. Currently Zen 3 is the most efficient x86_64 uArch in terms of MT performance and performance per watt metrics. Alder Lake is highly unlikely to change that. I would not recommend purchasing Ryzen 7 5800X - 5600X, 5900X and 5950X are all much much better in terms of thermals. Also, AMD is expected to release Zen3+ this fall or winter - they promise up to a 15% performance uplift in certain games due to a huge L3 cache (the only change vs Zen 3).
