That 170W TDP was chasing the benchmark crown. The 7950X lost <5% MT perf when run at 120W.

- canucker2016 2y agoThe all-core max clock speed costs a lot of watts for that last 10% - close to 50% of total CPU consumption in some cases. That's why undervolting has become a thing to do (unless you're an Intel CPU marketer) - give up a few percent of your all-core max clock rate and cut your wattage used by a lot.
- GordonS 2y agoI wonder then if the 9900X could be undervolted without losing more than a few percentage points of speed?
