Seriously "Hot" Take (Hehe, see what I did there?)
I think everyone sharing the meme of the 12900K beating the 5950X "by 7%" (in what, exactly?) whilst consuming about double the power has little idea of the context behind it.
The 12900K (and only the 12900K) seems to exhibit this behavior, and only in applications that actually stress all CPU cores to a high degree over a long period of time, such as rendering. Anything "bursty" or lean such as gaming shouldn't really see this wild consumption of watts over an extended period. Power consumption in gaming applications is pretty tame by comparison, and it looks like the 12600K (and 12700K) are comparatively tamer in terms of power consumption even when rendering. Is it more efficient than Zen 3 in these workloads? No, but it is significantly moreso than prior generations of Intel desktop products.
So why did Intel do this? Had a look at Igor's piece where he tuned a 12900K to 150W and lost very little performance and had a chat with a reviewer who is currently testing the 12900K in various PLs and the hypothesis is that Intel were prioritising a very high yield rate, so whilst the 12900K is capable of achieving its rated performance at 150-190W, it may have required a significantly lower yield rate.

So there actually is content behind the Notch or was he joking ?
On iStat, it actually puts stuff behind the notch.
Resolve doesn't but because there's so many menu bar options, it ends up hiding some status bar options.
Though iStat isn't exactly the most brilliantly coded piece of software.

I'm sure they'll fix that asap but that's good.

TIL, it's possible to make the menu bar in macOS completely black.
There you go. Notch problem solved...

Well it’s also an exclusion zone pretty much. Notch will turn off in full screen and since the display is slightly taller than 16:10 content won’t get cut off and apps can’t put UI up there.
I've always felt like they could've put an all-black version of the menu bar in full-screen mode for easier access. IMO, it would actually look pretty cool with MiniLED's sweet contrast.

Also, mega hot take
I think everyone is making an overly big deal about the notch on the new MacBook Pros. Yes, it looks pretty stupid especially on the official product renders, but seeing how the space around it is reserved for the menu bar, and how every full-screen app they showed doesn't make use of the area around the notch, I don't get why this is such a big deal.
I legitimately feel like once you start using it, you just stop focusing on it and just move on...

For the most part, unless you're using a light theme, I don't think it will be noticeable. But I'm kinda curious as to how full-screen apps work with that. Do they just not use the top part at all or just ignore the notch and display contents under it? IMO it'll take quite some time for apps to get updated for the notch.

It looks like the area around the notch simply gets blacked-out in full-screen mode, basically turning it into bezel.
Might be different as time goes on, but all of the apps shown did that in full-screen mode.
