Question Power usage spikes on cpu

That is how modern intel cpu work. You would have to look the numbers up for a 11400 cpu.
There is a rate called pl2 that the cpu will burst to for short periods of time.

The default numbers for say a 14900k and most other higher end cpu are 125 pl1 and 253 pl2. So on those cpu you will spikes to 253 or even higher if you override the values.
