High clock speeds are not the same thing as high wattage, they aren't even really related, or very closely associated. We have no idea what the power usage of these processors will be. They could even end up being more efficient than previous processors, doing more instructions in a shorter period of time then powering back down to idle sooner on the same workload. Yes people might decide to throw more work at them as a result, but that's not the CPU's fault, that's a people problem not a hardware problem.

Power increases linearly with frequency.
I mean, a few years ago we had 1ghz CPUs with a 60w TDP. now you can do 3 or 4 or sometimes even more with the same tdp. it's not all about the power.
The N100 goes up to 3.4GHz and has a TDP of 6W
wow that's insanely impressive! I haven't seen any of those chips in the wild yet so I wasn't aware of it. super cool stuff
They're not found in traditional PC's and are attached directly to the motherboard itself. They're meant for mobile / embedded but are quite popular for servers in the selfhosting community due to their low power usage, price, and performance. It's comparable to a i5-7500T in terms of performance (so not that fast), but it does have better video encoding acceleration which makes it suitable for streaming video. Due to the availability and prices of Raspberry Pi kits, these are often chosen instead for simple servers because mini-PC's with it can cost the same as a Raspberry Pi kit.
