Power Consumption and Temperatures
Power Consumption
To measure power consumption we use a killawatt meter and measure the total system power draw at the wall. We run three different scenarios for 5 minutes and take the average reading, these are Windows desktop idle, AIDA64’s system stability test and Prime95’s blend test.
Temperatures
To measure temperatures we run three different scenarios for 5 minutes: Windows desktop idle, AIDA64 Engineer system stability test and Prime95 Blend system load. We take the average maximum core temperature for AIDA64 and Prime95 and take the average minimum core temperature for desktop idle.
Nice Review
32GB-DDR4 just a little bit of Ram then 🙂 , thats going to cost abit also do you think intel will unlock more cores on HEDT chips in the future, i can see exstream overclockers having fun, what with the option of x4 GPUs and not using thermal paste
Yes I think so, I see scalability of the LGA 2011-3 platform in terms of cores considering the equivalent Xeon platform in the same package has up to 16 cores
i think i see what your getting at your saying the 2011-3 has been brought up to the same as the Xeon chips with its 8 cores and 16 threads already which has acheived a better chip for a lower price than the Xeon. So this could be seen as a sign of future chips with more cores being unlocked on other platforms. i still run a 1366 i7 extreme 975 at 4000.00MHz or there abouts i am looking to upgrade now as its been some 5 years 🙂
