The Intel Problem: CPU Efficiency & Power Consumption

GRAB A BRAND NEW GN15 MOUSE MAT! (black/blue/yellow and available in signed or unsigned!) or consider buying one of our GN15 metal emblem glasses to support our work! A lot of you have requested that we run power consumption tests for gaming on CPUs, so we’ve finally done that!

These benchmarks look at the efficiency and raw power consumption of Intel vs. AMD CPUs. There’s a particular focus on the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Intel Core i7-14700K and 14900K CPUs, as these are the most recent and directly comparable / best gaming CPUs.
