The main problem with the AMD 5000 series is their high idle (non-core) power draw of around 20 to 30W. AMD have reduced this in their 7000 series.

- Dalewyn 3y agoGot any specific numbers? On the Intel side of things, I've seen my 14700K idle at around 5W (which shoots up to 300W under load, I find it greatly amusing) and my 12700H at 0.5W or less.
- pohuing 3y agoMy 5900x, with core parking on and energy saving windows settings idles at 45W package power. Only two cores are really active, one each at ~2/3W. The others at <0.1W.
- RachelF 3y agoMy 5950x idles at 35W. It's a known problem with AMD. It isn't the CPUs using the power its the uncore/SoC that eats the power.
