P4 had up to 115W TDP. The same frequency and raw power could probably be achieved on 15W today. But you can't get most current CPUs to run stable beyond 4GHz base clock, even with liquid cooling.
- fivefive55 7y agoNot sure what cpus you're looking at but everything in the desktop space is over 4ghz nowadays. My last cpu was at 4.6ghz its entire life and my 3900x stays at over 4ghz on all 12 cores when doing a render.
- aeyes 7y agoYour CPU has 3.8GHz base clock (guaranteed), it can't sustain 4.6GHz turbo clock on all cores.
- fivefive55 7y agoYes, I know, but it never actually goes below 4.0 for me on all cores when doing a render. The 4.6 was referring to my 4770k which was at 4.6 on all cores all the time.
