10 months agoNo, undervolting improves performance. It will *always* consume to what you set the TDP. So, by lowering the TDP and then undervolting, you can keep the same performance at lower TDP (and that’s a lot more than 5W for a 100mV under-volt).
Idle usage of all of them (even the 14900k) is really really low, like below 5 Watt. And of any of the CPU’s (even 14900K), you can just set the TDP (PL1 & PL2) to whatever you want. Obviously it’s slower at lower TDP. A non-K cpu is just equal to a K cpu but it has different (lower) default settings for the TDP. You are fully in control of how hot and fast the CPU is (under load).
For gaming, an AMD CPU usually generates higher FPS for the same TDP. Something like a 7800x3d is pretty efficient.
