"TDP" as such is going away for Alder Lake. Intel is now using a much clearer base power and turbo power number. So for example, the new i5-12600K has a Base Speed of 3700MHz @ 125W and Turbo Speed of 4900MHz @ 150W (if and when thermals allow it) [0]. The old marketing would've just called this a TDP of 125W.

- SpelingBeeChamp 5y agoIt’s fascinating to me that society was willing to accept laptops that could not safely be used on a human’s lap for so long. My ‘old’ 16” MacBook Pro could probably cook an egg.
