Radiance1979: With my current r5 2600 at 65Watts its almost twice as heavy in that department. Games such as Total War and Mass Effect Andromeda... NFSU already made the r5 throttle
Dark_art_: You maybe want to check your motherboard settings as the 2600 should not throttle. Unless you have some weird airflow/cooler problem.
Funny, Yesterday I found the time to finally play with the Ryzen 1600AF (wich is nothing more than a 2600) and found a very nice thing. I'll do a full post later with all the data but to get the point, the power limit includes the memory power as well, wich means
if your motherboard limit the power, lowering the memory speed, actually increases performance. This should be meaningless to "gaming" desktops but probably very worthy to laptops...
Dark_art_: Lets hope it's not FX9590 all over again... A lot of motherboards were trashed by that aberration!
The ryzen 5 starts throttling around 55 degrees, no decent aircooler can put that cpu to rest if the usage is around 50% ( as is with the games i mentioned )
Themken: According to Intel themselves their new 10900K draws up to
250W NOT overclocked, add a lot more if overclocking. With a powerdraw like that, I am sure they have managed to make a bit of a gaming performance gap between AMD''s 3000 series and their 10,000 series. AMD's 4000 series should close at least most of that in the autumn when it arrives amnd maybe more but we will see. Maybe they will not.
The TDP number is supposed to help when choosing a cooler but as it is now it is most unhelpful.
The new Intel socket 1200 can take the same coolers that the previous socket could except most coolers will be uncapable of removing such amounts of heat.
Are you sure about this? i belief TDP is about wattage too! 125W is both thermals and electricity used ..
i mean i hope, else i need a new psu too
hmmm
TDP
Thermal Design Power (TDP) represents the average power, in watts, the processor dissipates when operating at Base Frequency with all cores active under an Intel-defined, high-complexity workload. Refer to Datasheet for thermal solution requirements.
with the ryzen i'm most of the time around 40 to 50 watts of powerconsumption according to afterburners measurements
and the new cpu features also
Configurable TDP-down
Configurable TDP-down is a processor operating mode where the processor behavior and performance is modified by lowering TDP and the processor frequency to fixed points. The use of Configurable TDP-down is typically executed by the system manufacturer to optimize power and performance. Configurable TDP-down is the average power, in watts, that the processor dissipates when operating at the Configurable TDP-down frequency under an Intel-defined, high-complexity workload.
at 95W tdp
