You know most of the time the system is Idling and/or working at lower power states. At those workloads the power consumption difference between AMD and Intel is a few Watts(depending on the system and workload) .
In games if you are using Vsync the power consumption difference most of the time is close to 50+Watts, simple because the CPU is not working 100%.
So yes, at full load the power consumption of the FX9590 is very high. But unless you are running at full load, the power usage difference is not that high as people would think.
