Power consumption is measured at idle, during a Cinebench R23 run and during a gaming benchmark run of Cyberpunk 2077, which is a very CPU intensive game. By getting 3 performance metrics, it allows us to see a better picture of the average user and what they are typically going to see in terms of power draw for just the processor itself.
Taking a look at power consumption and while the 7600X does improve at idle in comparison to the 5600X, it actually uses more power during gaming and during our Cinebench run as well. The saving grace is while performance across our benchmarks was very similar to the 12600K, it actually uses significantly less power during workload related tasks, but the Intel CPU still beats it during gaming.
