Intel Core i7-10700K and i5-10600K Geekbenched, Inch Ahead of 3800X and 3600X

Were all different, and our uses and reasons are ,my pc is on all day everyday for example with as high a load as my cooling system will support, others are similar, the large majority of pc user's don't care I agree.
But as far as simplifying everyone into one bracket, that's a stretch IMHO.

I've paid about £30-50 for pc power alone for years and at one point 20 times that amount.

But some do not care indeed.

Did you just virtue signal?

In my experience the type of people who legitimately care about power draw do not hang out here, nor in other similar sites. You'll find them in the forums on the specific applications they are using, because they are pros in those areas (rendering, video editing, AI/distributed computing, etc) and their ability to make a living is directly tied to their skill in those apps - not by perusing hardware tech forums. They also don't use consumer grade midrange desktop chips in their workstations.

Saving time is always more important to someone using their PC to make a living, which is why I question the veracity of someone who cares how much power an i5 / i7 or similar desktop chips draws.

As I implied previously it's not wise to assume you know how I and others use hardware, I have no workstation, see my label's below for a clue.
As for your slur if you want to discuss with me about virtue signalling pm me for the verbose offensive reply, I was mearly defending my opinion by describing my thoughts due to costs.

And Also I put plain enough I agree the majority don't care , that's ok but that's not everyone like you said.

I care what I spend on anything I buy ,am I weird?, I doubt I'm alone.

There's a awful lot of folders new to this due to covid that are about to understand their computers power use per bill period.

If they are as you say they we're, unconcerned before.

Can't say money is a factor for me, it's like a hobby, you don't care about value, you just want it perfect

In reality those test don't mean nothing and I don't think anybody cares at all except the rumor sites that look for such information. At the end of the day good optimization and low temps are the most important factor. I wanna run something powerful without using custom water cooling like it's 2012.

Speaking of heat 7nm is a wonderful achievement, but lets not make out they are running cool, far from it

Have to agree with this in essence. Most benchmarks are being used because they are free, but these only test one aspect of a system. In this case, geekbench is of course entirely about the CPU itself. But very few real-world workflows just use the CPU. CPU is fine and all, but in the real world it can be crippled by a crap chipset or inefficient use of RAM.

I much prefer to see PCMark for a system. However, that bench costs money, and requires anyone using it to have knowledge the overall system build when comparing. It's reputation was hurt by some really stupid testing methodologies in the past - like people comparing a 16Gig RAM system to an 8Gig RAM system, or systems with an SSD to ones with an HDD, then using those results to talk about CPU or GPU.

That said, if you want to see how your *entire* build compares in an series of real-world uses, it's the best I know of.
