Power Consumption
Power consumption is measured at idle, during a Cinebench R23 run and during a gaming benchmark run of Cyberpunk 2077, which is a very CPU-intensive game. By getting 3 performance metrics, it allows us to see a better picture of the average user and what they are typically going to see in terms of power draw for just the processor itself.
The idle and load power are largely right in the middle really, which is, well, it isn’t really anything. The board delivers reasonable performance, good temperatures and doesn’t use too much power to do it, so I guess it’s just a thumbs up and move on.
