Meanwhile, Apple Silicon maxes out at the PC's idle power while delivering similar performance.

Electricity here is about eight cents per kwh. Why should I care about the difference of 9W to 54W? I'm not running a data center.

>>105913408
30 to 40 Cents/kWh here plusmonthly fees

>>105913408
>energy efficiency is purely a function of economic variables, which can be subject to change at any moment
Even if you are not paying 30-50 cents per kwh, that's still a short sighted argument especially in a time of crisis as this.

>>105913390 (OP)
now lets take a look at a power usage when actually use the machine

>>105913390 (OP)
intel has been lying about power consumption since Sandy Bridge

>>105913390 (OP)
>while delivering similar performance.
And that's where the lie is

Intel has power minimum power, but higher maximum power with current perfotmance segment CPUs. AMD is the reverse due to the less efficient process used for the I/O die, which must use infinity fabric linkd that need constant power.

Look at what PC keks need to do in order to match a fraction of their power.

>>105913390 (OP)
>intel chip with a 1/4th of the computing power consumes a 1/4th of electricity
WHO WOULD HAVE EVER GUESSED???????

>>105913475
yeah, it delivers more at lowwr wattage

>Stock settings: 90-110w at 85° with a benchmark score of 11K
>Adjust some variables in bios: 55w steady at 60° with a benchmark score of 14K
I only blame my mobo and its dogshit defaults

>>105913408
battery Life, fan noise, etc

>>105913600
>1/4 the computing power
It's a 13900K.

If it changes enough to matter, you should be more concerned about having guns and ammo. You could run a 54W processor at 100% for an entire year, 24/7, and it would cost $38. If electricity prices went up 10x, that's still only $380/year, but if electricity prices went up 10x, it would be Mad Max chaos. In reality you don't run a cpu at 100% every moment for an entire year.

Personally it just kinda bugs me how inefficient PC stuff can be.
I redid the power supply in my router from an SFX to a picoPSU and dropped 10w.

10w or almost 1/3rd to nothing but inefficiencies

>>105913390 (OP)
yeah i'm not gonna listen to any vid with thumbnails like that

>>105914377
What if I want guns, ammo, and a PC that can run off a generator or solar panel?
