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.
Power consumption is a little higher, but again, when the motherboard is delivering many class-leading benchmark scores, it’s clearly not burning that power for no reason, and higher power for higher performance is fine with me.
