Operating Costs

With the cost of living increasing across the world, especially when it comes to the cost of electricity, it’s worth looking at the cost of running a processor and how it compares to similar products on the market. By taking the average cost per kWh, we can calculate a rough running cost at idle, during a simulated workload test (Cinebench R23), to give us worst-case scenario costs, as well as gaming costs during a run of Cinebench R23.

US Dollars (USD)

With an average cost of 15.42¢/kWh in the US, the 7600X comes in slightly cheaper at idle to run per hour than the 5600X but falls a little behind in both gaming and workload related tasks. Obviously this isn’t a huge amount when looking at the difference, but still a point that needs raising overall. The other point to focus on is that during workload related tasks like Cinebench, we do find the 7600X costing less to run than the 12600K from Intel.

British Pound (GBP)

In the UK where electricity costs are much higher with an average of £0.34p/kWh, we see a similar trend, with the 7600X costing less to run at idle, but more in both gaming and workload tasks when compared to its predecessor. Idle aside due to the E-Cores from Intel, we see the 12600K and 7600X both winning this battle in one area each.
