EVGA Also Teases Possible Z390 DARK Motherboard

[looniam]

i am not about to clutter up a thread thats PR on a mobo trying to explain to you some basic valid testing conditions. you even pointed out the cpu will adjust to conditions when under load such as going to max 4/6 core boost to base clock, intel not specifying those gives them wiggle room to move the goal posts when they need to.
Intel says chip vendors' TDP figures are not comparable

Not only did King say that TDP values are not transferable between chip vendors, he added that TDP figures cannot be compared between Atom and Core processors. He said, "You should note that the Atom processors use a different definition of TDP [than Core processors], one that is more oriented towards mainstream or consumption oriented workloads."

so you have it backwards, the cpu isn't very well optimized for the TDP but the TDP is adjusted for the cpu. this has been pointed out for over 11 years, since conroe, that i am aware of and some googling will show even further back than that. so what ever you say or think is not going to change history.

i am now out of time and any desire to continue this discussion here.

have a good day.
