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.
When it comes to power, it’s a little simpler, as the 13900K uses the most power in everything other than idle and interestingly, actually using more power during gaming, than the 7950X did during our Cinebench torture test, so with the cost of electricity going up, it could make quite a difference.
