Operating Costs
With the cost of living increases across the world, especially when it comes to the cost of electricity, it’s worth looking at the cost of running a processor and how it compares to similar products on the market. By taking the average cost per kWh, we can calculate a rough running cost at idle, during a simulated workload test (Cinebench R23), to give us worst-case scenario costs, as well as gaming costs during a run of Cinebench R23.

The actual operating costs are really reasonable at load, albeit, the increased hardware does lead to a higher idle operating cost, but it’s not overly significant.
