Power management mode nvidia ryzen 2700x11/4/2023 That all aside, for as little time as I feel like I’ve spent with Ryzen 2, my initial thoughts are very good. With that build of the OS, I am hoping we can safely rebenchmark with the assurance that we won’t have to rebenchmark again a few weeks later. In particular, it might be smart to wait for the next Creators Update to land, which is apparently going to be happening very soon. Beyond this point, I’m thinking I’ll probably wait for the Spectre dust to completely settle before continuing on with more testing. I admit that despite all of the testing I’ve been involved with the past few weeks, it feels like I rushed through Ryzen second-gen testing, and honestly, I’m surprised to be making the embargo lift. Some overclocked CPUs would require that much alone. Nonetheless, what impresses me here is that a super-fast chip like the 2700X can operate at just over 200W. That platform is in fact beefier than the others (in terms of motherboard features), but a difference of 50W almost seems extreme. It’s hard to ignore the massive difference in idle draw between the X299 platform and the others. Even with 4 sticks of DDR4 on the 8700K platform versus AMD’s 2, Intel delivers the best result here. With results all over the board like this, it’s hard to appreciate the real power efficiency differences between the platforms, but this still gives us a decent overall picture. However, a video encode test which takes full advantage of the CPU is hardly a poor example of power draw, since it represents a typical demanding scenario. I will also add that HandBrake has recently been deemed a bit lacking to gauge the peak power draw, so with the next suite iteration, I’ll likely introduce something a bit more demanding. The only reliable method for capturing CPU temperatures is to go the hardware route, which is both very time-consuming, and expensive. Idle power consumption is measured about 5 minutes after boot, once Windows decides to calm itself, and the wattage reading keeps stable.īecause AMD and Intel measure temperatures very differently, and there’s never a guarantee that software applications are reporting accurate readings, we forgo that testing. To generate power-draw results for our collection of CPUs, we plug the test PC into a Kill-a-Watt for real-time monitoring, and stress the CPU with the help of our CLI-based HandBrake test (which can peak 100% of course in our tests).
