Quote from: George on August 31, 2022, 10:41:10Why do you assume "massive power consumption differences" and lower power bills with AMD in the latest generation? The maximum power draw (PPT) on AMD's 7900x is 230W, while Intel's 13900K sports 240W, only 4% higher. In their press release back in May, team red confused everyone with their gimmicky marketing TDP numbers, and they were pressed to admit that the real max power draw was actually 1.35 x the default spec TDP.

AMD 7950X (16c) hits 40k in r23 using maybe 230w
Intel 13900K (24c) hits 40k only in "unlimited power mode" drawing 350W

You have proofs all over the internet.

I can bet that AMD use at least 40-50w less than 13900k in this benchmark. Also now we comparing 24c vs 16c.
My 5950x beat 12900k in rendering by 7-8% using 180w vs 12900k using 220w

What is interesting about these comparisons is the power consumption differences are massive and performance differences are on par recently with Intel and AMD. Electricity costs money, when buying gaming everyone just cares about max FPS and forget they are starting to hit power consumption numbers of electric heaters, which costs a lot to run, with AMD I expect great FPS and lower power bills.

If trends keep up with GPU and CPU we will see people starting to flex their underclocking skills to maximise FPS at lower power usage just to be able to afford to run their PC, lol. It would be much better for everyone if developers starting to optimise for multicore and we got off the single core bandwagon because its too easy to not bother to optimise for efficiency.
