The Intel Problem: CPU Efficiency & Power Consumption
GRAB A BRAND NEW GN15 MOUSE MAT! (black/blue/yellow and available in signed or unsigned!) or consider buying one of our GN15 metal emblem glasses to support our work!
A lot of you have requested that we run power consumption tests for gaming on CPUs, so we’ve finally done that! And alongside fulfilling that request, we also wanted to tackle a comment from Greg, our recurring antagonist commenter, who “requested“ CPU efficiency testing. These benchmarks look at the efficiency and raw power consumption of Intel vs. AMD CPUs. There’s a particular focus on the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Intel Core i7-14700K and 14900K CPUs, as these are the most recent and directly comparable / best gaming CPUs.
