- shmerl 7y agoInteresting, thanks! From that article, Intel's TDP is roughly equal to the power draw during full load on base frequency. How does AMD define it then? Also, what about GPUs TDP?
- paol 7y agoI've read some in-depth analysis of AMD's calculation somewhere too, but I forget where. I do remember that the TDP numbers on AMD are closer to maximum power draw. Never investigated GPUs. One way to find out would be to trawl Anandtech reviews and collect TDP and measured power draw numbers, they always take measurements.
