13900K has the same TDP as 12900K.
Edit 1: AMD has been
lying about its CPUs power consumption for years now. Nowhere on their website there's any mention that their CPUs consume roughly 35% more watts than their TDP specifies, e.g. 5800X - 105W TDP, real power consumption, i.e. PPT, 142W.
Edit 2: Intel is
not lying. From the
specs page: Maximum Turbo Power 241 W.
This used to be the cased until AMD decided to use their peculiar "logic" which its fans find impeccable.
...
You do know that TDP and wattage are not the same thing, and that neither AMD not intel list them plainly like that?
They're both an average, not a hard cap.
Intel: 65W TDP = 250W for 60 seconds, then 65W after that.
AMD: 105W TDP = 140W (similar time limit, not sure if also 60 seconds)
Depending on motherboard, that 60 second rule can be completely ignored. That happens on both sides.
Neither lists TDP as the maximum value, they're the average.
Why the one sided view there?
You do understand that you're looking at different numbers and values and mixing them up to create something that doesn't exist?
Let's use tomshardware today since they measure CPU power only and not total system like TPU.
AMD state the 5600x is 65W TDP
5600x uses 75W (115%), or 102W (156%) with PBO enabled
5900x 105W TDP
136W (129%), or 165W (157%) with PBO
11600k
125W TDP
95W TDP down
203W (162%)
Hmm. Maybe that's an oddity, lets go the 11700k
Nope, 125W with a 95W TDP down.
Oh... 239W. (191%)
Okay lets ignore the 11th gen and move to 12th gen.
Theres a whole new bag of kittens to go through with the boost values as those are supposed to be temporary and quite often they're not - so I'm comparing both values.
12700K:
125W, with 190W boost.
But it uses 224W. (179%/117%)
12900K then!
125W, with 241W boost:
and it hits the same 224W (179%/92%) limit as the 11900K, because the boards just have power limits there. In this case it doesn't even reach the advertised level.
And for bonus points, the still-for-sale 10700
Intel® Core™ i7-10700 Processor
65W TDP, no other wattages listed
Also, zero shits given for accuracy, with the 65W CPU using more power than the 125W CPU
Power Consumption - Intel Core i7-10700 vs Core i7-10700K Review: Is 65W Comet Lake an Option? (anandtech.com)
329% advertised TDP. Nice. Needs an award for that.
So
@birdie tell me again why intel listing one single CPU advertised with a maximum TDP value so high that most boards wont even reach it, while all the others are outright false makes AMD the one who's lying here?
I have no problem with you pointing out TDP values are inaccurate but for gods sake don't just spew out fanboy drivel you've read online without the most basic of research
