    The amount of power being used to run these chips is the turnoff. Then again, these are probably for a very niche consumer segment anyway (enthusiasts).

      Average power draw is around 55W. You won’t get these processors to draw more than 300w for more than 20 seconds, ever.

    Hear me out, but I want to see it run Crysis with an older GPU.

    The reason I say this is because Crysis was built around the assumption that future CPUs would be single core monstrosities running at 5+GHz, but we took core count first.

    Intel has done marginally well with its new Core tech to bring significant performance gains compared to the previous gen tech. While the performance is good, the power draw is INSANE.

    When will Intel have a new Core tech that may address the power and heat draw?

      You could probably get 900W pretty easily just by putting two of these into an enterprise server.

        You could, but then all you’re doing is buying a very expensive and inefficient space heater.

    Ok so still consuming power like a refrigerator, CPU looking very promising, only problem is that I already have a refrigerator, my wallet can’t hold 2 of them, so I guess I will pass, thanks for the memories.

      360mm is absolutely fine, mine is keeping 14700k under 70°C in any game, up to 75°C with prime95 and I’m running it oc @ 5,8 all cores. That being said my friend has a 240mm and it’s working hard to keep it under 80°C.
