Yeah, when you want to make a point, compare against the worst value product from the competition /facepalm
That said, you claim that the 13500 is at the same performance level as the 7700x, which simply isn't true - the 7700x is a fair bit faster in games.
But the real comparison would have been the 7600x - it's just as fast as the 7700x in games, and costs the same as your 13500...
Edit : correction - the 7600x is 1800 dkk, and the 13500 is 2000 dkk, so the 13500 is actually more expensive...
I'm talking about single/multi core scores in applications.
For gaming... everyone has RTX 4090? Anyway, if you have RTX 4090, you play in 1440p/4K and don't choose ryzen 5 or i5.
7600X is cheaper because it is very weak in multicore compared to 13500.
For the others:
Idle: 21 W
yt 1080p: 35W
yt 4k@60fps: 45W
The whole system, without monitor. Of course, there are short jumps (as it loads the buffer, for example), but it stabilizes at these values.
I reinstalled windows on January 1st. That's when I also reset the wattmeter. At an average of 5 hours/day, it consumes about 6KW per month and I don't only use it for office and www. I also use it for games, recoding (three or four TV series this year) and photo editing. Only used for office and news/movies, I don't see this system exceeding 3KW/month.
Stop with the nonsense that an Intel destroys a nuclear power plant.
PS: 13.190 KW
That's what the wattmeter indicates, the total consumption from January 1 until now. Does that seem like a lot? In terms of multicore results, the 13500 outperforms the 7700X (a much more expensive processor) in CPU-Z and Cinebench R23. According to TPU's review of the 7700X, it outperforms it with lower consumption.
