    Quite amazing all these commenters insinuating like the CPU draw max power at all time. It’s 40-50w CPU under typical load. Its performance is there if you need it.

    Probably funny to parrot the narrative rather than saying something not stupid.

      I think we are talking about max draw not avg draw

      Modern core design means your cpu avg draw should be no more than 50w.

      A chip that draws 300watts average is about 20 seconds away from drawing zero watts.

      Because it’d be dead.

      But there is no point to discuss avg draw because most chips will have similar avg draw regardless of quality or price.

        I’m not sure I follow. My 3600 is much slower than my 3600x? Is that all down to binning or power delivery?

        They both need to boost past 50w when I’m gaming. The x is on a much nicer x570 board though.

      Because I don’t know anything about computers and just use them, what does like a m1 MacBook Air or pro use power wise?

        No comparison really, completely different classes. This intel has 20 cores Apple M1 chip has 8, and all 20 of intel’s cores are faster than the fastest core on Apple M1 chip. It’s like comparing a fast family car to a racing car.

      Well, isn’t it just the same chip as 13th gen, just from a different bin? Intel didn’t really update anything this time, same arch, same conf, same node, same all. And higher bin only makes sense if you actually drive it to it’s limits, so… the narrative isn’t half wrong.

        14700 technically got more cores so there is that. The other two didn’t change

        Its a RL refresh. Maybe they shouldnt call it “14th gen” (reserve that for ML only) and people wouldn be so agry about it.
