Many motherboards now report the power (Watts) drawn by the CPU. If you don't trust that, you can always measure the whole system usage at the plug.

- kergonath 4y agoBy then you can run your own benchmarks, which was the point of “until independent benchmarks are out”. You need some skepticism when discussing characteristics they give for an upcoming chip.
- dist-epoch 4y agoMany benchmarks today actually do measure these things. It could be improved through.
- rsynnott 4y agoThe point is, fundamentally, that you shouldn't take a manufacturer's word on real-world behaviour, particularly for something that isn't even released yet. Like, you can if you want, but going on history you will nearly always be disappointed.
- kergonath 4y ago> Many benchmarks today actually do measure these things Except, of course, for chips that are not available yet, such as those discussed here.
- rsynnott 4y agoSure, and when the chip is available and that test can be done independently, that’ll largely answer the question. For now, it’s pretty much just marketing claims.
