Compared to the 7800X3D ~14% slower in game performance and ~89% faster in multithreaded performance
CamelCamelCamel.
Lol that's not really true at all though - under the workloads where the performance gains matter (not gaming), the tdp isn't really representative. This chip can pull well north of 150w. 7800X3D under full load is more like 80-100w despite the TDP numbers. Left with no voltage/thermal controls (or rather with enough thermal headroom) the intel can be pushed above 200w.
This is also a KF cpu so you'll need to buy a graphics card for your non-gaming PC. I can see the value if it wasn't an F series though.
Not quite. The 265KF is actually a lot more power hungry than the 7800X3D if you look at some reviews.

TDP simply refers to heat dissipation. All this tells you is how to size your cooler appropriately, but real power consumption can be vastly different to TDP.
Damn, actual power consumption numbers for intel look really bad compared to AMD.
Yeah Intel's power draw just kept climbing - they kept using the same tech functionally and pushing the out-of-the-box thermal limit/power draw and bumping boost numbers to makeup for lack of actual chip innovation.
This is where AMD's ryzen consumer chips really make sense.
Intel still has some super power efficient stuff, though like N150 etc, but the mid-segment market I don't even look at Intel for builds/when friends ask me to spec something up.
There's something to be said for like.. a budget 12400f system with a locked clock/power draw and a budget GPU but eh… With AliExpress deals for 7700s constantly around and AM4 micro atx boards in sub 200 ranges it's really hard to recommend them in the normal desktop space.
If you compare it to the competing CPUs 7900X/9900X it's not bad at all.
Right, but if it's 89% faster in multithreaded performance, and using 80% more power than AMD, you're still winning.
The problem comes when the additional power does not match the additional performance. 89% faster, at 100% more power consumption, is a net loss…
I like how you share articles from almost a year ago when there's been a lot of updates, its been tested in idle power consumption it consumes less than Ryzen, just have a far higher maximum power draw which you wont hit unless you do creative workloads
wow..
Technically better value at one of these stores if you sell/make use of the cd key
That's massive and probably the deciding factor if you don't game. Slightly more power hungry at 125w TDP vs 120w TDP
