- adgjlsfhk1 4y agono, they just require bigger coolers.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoIntel allows the CPUs to draw significantly more power than AMD does. These are about the most reliable benchmarks you can find on the internet: https://youtu.be/todoXi1Y-PI?t=342 https://youtu.be/todoXi1Y-PI?t=342
- pishpash 4y agoWhat's preventing AMD from allowing the same?
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoHeat distribution as far as I can tell, this video from derbauer shows that shifting the way the cooler contacts the CPU lid (aka offset mounting) can provide drastically lower temperatures which means the cpu is allowed to draw more juice. In the video [1], there's an 8% improvement which tbh is massive; though it seems that the creator missed that, so ignore the conclusion, look at the numbers. An 8% improvement would have put AMD in the lead with intel unable to compete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mPi6DjGZpQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mPi6DjGZpQ
