Well I've been running an 8 AMD CPU C6105 for a couple of weeks at very close to maximum load 24/7. TDP of the 4332 HE CPU is 65W. 65W x 8 = 520W. My UPS displays the power consumption of the server at 585W. If what you say would have any fact base in my case I should be looking at over 1 kW instead of 585W...Not sure how you are coming to that conclusion.
And I am mostly concerned about maximum load since rendering uses all available resources which is my main task.
Valid point. I haven't actually used AMD consumer CPUs for years due to the pricing of older server chips.They are server chips. AMD or anyone wouldn't dare lying TDP on industrial chips.
Interesting - in years past, the opposite was true:I dislike how AMD lies about their TDP.
AMD CPU TDP is based on average load while Intel's TDP is max load.
So, when AMD CPU says 65w TDP, it is effectively 95w TDP.
