Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

For gaming, go for a R7 7800X3D. Not only is it gonna give you both more average and 1% low FPS, it does that consuming up to +100W less.
Lies.
My 14700kf peaks at 230W for cinebench 2023, gaming it I don’t really above 70w (non esports titles admittedly). Is the power draw that high?
Yeah, just check the tests, HUB includes per application/game power consumption which is nice as most reviewers only give power consumption on stress tests. The power efficiency is pretty poor rn.
if we wanted frame dips we would be on the amd reddits. thanks but no thanks
