Which AMD chips ran hot? For me nothing will ever compare to the P4 for thermals (even though modern chips have higher power consumption).

- la_barba 7y agoThe Athlon XPs did run hot. I don't have a handy link right this moment. Maybe someone can look it up..
- jdietrich 7y agoThe 15h (Bulldozer to Excavator) series had pretty lousy efficiency, with most desktop parts having a TDP of 95W or 125W. The FX-9590 achieved some level of notoriety for having a 220W TDP despite only having four real cores.
- jdsully 7y agoThe real problem with bulldozer was by that point they were so far behind nobody in my circle bothered mentioning them at all.
- NikolaNovak 7y agoI would agree in principle; in practice, my main desktop is still FX-8350. I keep looking for excuse to replace it... and not finding one :-/ Still available as new in mainstream shops [1], and at recent times strangely peaked specific price/performance chart. It boggles my mind to be honest :P 1: https://www.newegg.ca/p/pl?d=fx-8350&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH https://www.newegg.ca/p/pl?d=fx-8350&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Submit=...
