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.
Wait, what the hell is going on here? Not only does this motherboard run extremely cool, but it also uses significantly less power than all of its rivals. Truly the masters at Gigabyte are working the black arts into their power management hardware.
