(AnandTech) On Intel CPUs, PL1 is the long-term power level; PL2 is the short burst power level. On a high-end chip rated at 125W, PL2 is something like 253W. On the top of the line 14900KS, it is increased to 320W officially, and 400W or more unofficially. This produces great benchmark results but unfortunately fries the chips.
