Power consumption:
As far as power tests are concerned, we didn’t modify anything and we wanted to know how our configuration would react by default. Basically, we installed the CPU and loaded the XMP profile. Then we did our various readings and benchmarks.
Regarding the power consumption, we used the Cinebench R23 benchmark. We are here on multi thread. The idea is to measure the average consumption of our different processors. Be careful, this is a global consumption of the configuration. Currently, we are not yet able to measure independently and correctly the CPU consumption, but it is in progress. We still have some points to optimize in order to be fully convinced of the accuracy of our readings.
While the Ryzen 7000X left us with a good impression regarding power consumption, these new non-X Ryzen 7000s are really ultra efficient. None of our three processors exceeded the 190 watt mark in several Cinebench R23 tests. Remember, this is our full PC setup and we are only stressing the processor. Our NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti is perfectly at rest.
Excellent point for AMD.
