Oops, look over there for the new goalposts!
- josephg 4y agoThe context was this: > High end Intel and AMD chips hold the performance crown but the M chips utterly destroy them on performance per watt. It’s not even close. I think asking about battery life is pretty relevant.
- polishTar 4y agoStrongly agree. It's not moving the goalposts when the metric is useless. TDP means nothing nowadays because CPUs can significantly exceed them when turboing if they've got thermal headroom. IMO, real power consumption in joules over the course of a benchmark needs to be the standard when it comes to comparing efficiency.
- skykooler 4y agoI wish this was a more common benchmark for graphics cards - with newer graphics cards pushing higher and higher TDPs, it would be nice to have a way to look for "best performance while keeping power draw the same as the previous GPU".

- mort96 4y agoTDP is not a number you can use in performance per watt comparisons. No goalposts were moved.
