Electricity costs is perhaps the last thing a pc gamer considers when choosing a new CPU. That's if they consider it at all...
That would be like asking how many MPG's a rebuilt 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 gets... it was not built for efficiency - it was built for performance.
- tracker1 2y agoFTR, I drive a 2016 Dodge Challenger RT 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker... No the MPG isn't my top concern... that said I don't actually drive it that much as I WFH. Is a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 really something to compare an x600 class CPU to all the same? Even then, a gamer is more likely to get 6000/6400 memory, properly balance the fclk and run with PBO. I still wouldn't suggest the 9600X, given the current pricing compared to other options... Just like I wouldn't recommend people pay $20k markup on a Ford Bronco.
- Alupis 2y agoI was more making the point that a person building/choosing a computer for gaming is highly unlikely to consider efficiency at all. People who tweak timings, voltages, etc are typically doing so to eek out marginal performance benefits - not to become more efficient. So, much like a class muscle car, people buy them to go fast, not be efficient.
