HenrySomeoneA bit more overall power because the 2080Ti can better stretch its legs with Intel, the cpu alone is actually slightly lower. In games where both cpus will fully utilize the gpu, the overall will be slightly lower as well, hence we get this average:

dyonoctisYou kinda kplayed yourself :

It's odd, but the 8 core 3700x got a lower power consumption than the 6 core 3600/x, while having slightly higher clocks and more cores. Probably having something to do with having using higher binned chip as you go up in the line-up.

Hugh MungusI can't buy an Intel processor anymore. The power bill alone puts me off since my pc is used by multiple people during most of the day.

Add to that a new motherboard, even if I had an Intel motherboard to start with, and the cost of the processor itself and for me it is an AMD clean sweep from budget to high end.

Oddly enough, the tested processors are not very far apart in terms of energy efficiency.

And the most amazing thing is that Intel has been able to extract a little from the fabrication technique used for years, although a year and two years ago we were pretty sure that nothing else could be done with Skylake architecture and the 14 nm class manufacturing process.

HenrySomeonePrecisely, if you are a somewhat average user, who spends quite a bit of time on the PC doing undemanding tasks like browsing, watching Youtube, checking email, etc. and/or leave it idling for any more than a couple of minutes, a comparable Intel system will actually consume less electricity overall still and that's against AMD's "latest and greatest" 7 nm chpis, against previous Zen(+) ones there was no contest at all (not to even mention the Faildozers). Unless the red team pulls a miracle with Zen 3 and Zen 4, they'll be pretty much toast when Intel finally moves to 7nm as well (and they will sooner or later) and even 3nm won't be able to help them then...

watzupkenI think at least in this case, AMD was honest about the TDP. Intel in this case slapped a big 65W sticker on the specs, but in actual fact, the fact here is that it draws at least double of it at the minimal, and almost 3.5 to 4x. The worst part is that the stock CPU can barely manage the power requirement for the non K i5 models. So I doubt a user will even see the supposed performance with the stock paper weight cooler from Intel.

Dave65Id say for 2020, it is pretty terrible.
