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 power consumption is a LOT higher, now this is a little bit of a red flag and could point to why the temperatures are as high as they are. Again though, the power is going in and more FPS is coming out, so again, this could be tradeoff you are happy with.
