skatesNothing is free with Physics and nothing is free in our physical world, there is always a price to pay. If you are concerned about the environmental impact of increased energy demand, then don't buy this CPU, buy one which you are comfortable with.

I love this statement. Nothing is free and nowadays even if you get a sore throat you have to pay for it if you want to stay home for few days to get better.
Obviously you have to pay for tech but sometimes the amount of money companies ask is ridiculous. I still think both Intel and AMD are being conservative in their tech advancement and they are trying to squeeze as much as possible from the current CPUs to cash in. It is a business so don't get me wrong but it is a little bit outside of a comfort zone and it would seem the main focus now is not tech advancement and architecture improvement (you can observe that clearly with Intel releasing 1-2 CPUs per year) but kinda focus goes to make CPUs functional with overwhelming amounts of power they throw at those to get more performance.
We will see what the new RL brings to the table but something tells me I'm not gonna lose my breath when reviews show up. Well, we will find out soon.

7zip uses 50-60% of CPU power (not to be confused with CPU load). It is necessary to use all the functions of the processor to the maximum in order to reach the maximum consumption, but the vast majority of software does not do it. It can only approach the maximum in renders, it depends on the software.

If we are still talking about the consumption of an Intel processor (hit for AMD fans), this system was used 6.7 hours per day, on average. If we take this average into account, the system consumed 4.3 KW in the period 01.08.2022 - 19.08.2022 (19 days) for an average of 6.7 hours a day.
In money: under one US dollar, gentlemen!!!! :banghead:
System:
12500 CPU
IGP UHD 770 GPU (included in the cost of the processor)
2x8GB @3200MHz RAM
4xSSD and 1x HDD portable
2x backup HDD in rack (power on only when necessary)
3x fans

@Uskompuf, since you have limited your profile visibility and interactions, I am forced to publicly address you here. Please fix your title and article. Again - the title should read "60% Faster Than i9-12900K" and the article should read "beat its predecessor".

That sore throat in the US will cost you 2 months salary if you do a doctors visit.
2 Tylenols, that will be $400 plz.
