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 high, but clearly, that’s resulting in some good CPU performance and the warmer VRM, but again, it all seems to be working within reasonable tolerances.
