- wongarsu 4y agoThere's the hope that this is just a stopgap measure from Intel to deal with AMD and Apple competition, and power demands go back to normal once Intel had time to push a couple of architecture improvements through the pipeline.
- PragmaticPulp 4y agoIf power efficiency is a concern, you wouldn’t want to look at the absolute top of the line enthusiast-targeted chips. I care greatly about power consumption in my laptop, but I don’t really care at all in my desktop. If they can make my compiles finish 10% faster by doubling the power usage, bring it on. My CPU is rarely ever running at these 100% usage levels, so it’s not like it makes a difference in my power bill. Modern coolers are plenty quiet.
- MikusR 4y agoFor example fastest AMD consumer cpu 7950X is really efficient and fast in eco mode.
- LegitShady 4y agoanyone who buys a 7950x to run in eco mode is a fool, like buying a race car to go 30 km/h. The target market of the 7950x and the i9 are not people worried about their electricity bills.
- jeffbee 4y agoThat's not really the case. Even at M1's power limits, the 13900K is faster for single-threaded workloads.
