If 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.
