And yet AMD is placing the 7F52 against one Intel chip, the 6242, that has a 62.5% lower TDP.

If the decades-long talk of server room power efficiency is more than just talk, the AMD chip is going to have a lot to prove whilst it eats up that much more power; the AMD would need to present a 65% performance boost over the aforementioned Intel in order to support any increased performance versus power draw claims. That's a pretty massive performance increase to expect, we'll certainly have to see what happens.
