Is PBO enabled for the AMD processor?
After all, if you have multicore enhancement (MCE) enabled on the Intel processors, it is only fair that you enabled precision boost overdrive (PBO) on the AMD processor.
Either that or disabled both MCE and PBO.
Sorry, but $50 less than the Ryzen 7 5800X isn't going to cut it.
In other to extract the full potential out of Core i7-11700K requires a beefy cooler (in this case, a 360mm AIO) and a motherboard with beefy power delivery (i.e. VRMs).
More electricity is needed to keep the platform itself...
There is something really wrong with TechPowerUp's setup though.
As another example...
LegitReviews, Kitguru, and HEXUS shows the Radeon RX 6800 is faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 in Borderlands 3, and again, it wasn't even close.
Something is wrong with that setup.
For example
Hardware Unboxed tested Gears 5.
Radeon RX 6800 beat the GeForce RTX 3070 and the results weren't even close.
What do you have against giving choices?
The option is available for those who can and are willing to buy it.
If you don't want most expensive option, there are cheaper options.
You didn't response to the rest of my comment.

No one is forcing you to buy the most expensive video card.

I want to play all the latest titles at 4K with all the settings on high.
How come I can't do that with a $250 video card? /s
...and back in the day, a burger was 15 cents
I want to buy the most expensive video card.
Why is the most expensive video card so expensive? /s...
AMD and NVIDIA have different products for people with different budgets.
For people with $250 budget, AMD and NVIDIA have products for that.
For people with $400 budget, AMD and NVIDIA have products for that.
For people with $700 budget, AMD and NVIDIA have products for that.
et cetera

Wrong. Radeon RX 6800 is faster than GeForce RTX 3070 in just about every game (I can't even think of one where this is not the case), from barely faster to a lot faster.
Why $450? Why not free?
The whining about prices is really annoying.
What are you talking about?
Radeon RX 6800 is faster that GeForce RTX 3070, sometimes by significant margin (and even beating GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3090).
In the worst case scenario, Radeon RX 6800 is slightly faster GeForce RTX 3070.
So no, the performance is not "roughly equal"...
To be honest, before clicking, I thought it was going to be about how AMD could have the entire market to itself, but failed because of supply.
I don't anticipated that it's going to be a whinny little twerp complaining about $50.
Have you actually read the reviews?
Radeon RX 6800 is faster than the GeForce RTX 3070.
In fact it wasn't even close.
Radeon RX 6700 XT is going to be AMD's intended competitor to the GeForce RTX 3070.
According to AMD:
The cache has a hit rate of 58%.
Consequently, 42% of the time, it has to access the GDDR6 memory.
That means that it has the effective bandwidth of 256b/0.42 = 609.52b effective bandwidth
Now 609.52b/256b = 2.38X effective bandwidth
According to AMD, the effective...

Complaining for the sake of complaining is getting ridiculous.
First complain that AMD doesn't compete in the high end....
...then complain that AMD follows NVIDIA into the expensive/high end segment
AMD has assessed its inventory level and the demand of the market and set its prices base on that assessment.
Then there are the usual whining from people who thinks that AMD only exists to undercut NVIDIA, rather than a company that has done extensive research to determine prices that would...
AMD's previous flirting with exotic memory has been a disaster thanks to high prices and limited availability (think HBM2 in Vega and HBM in Fiji).
With Navi 2X using plain old GDDR6, AMD can get it from anywhere and inexpensively.
NVIDIA is stuck with getting relative expensive GDDR6X memory...
