Just the mere facts tell the tale of what each chip maker is doing with their current line up. In both gaming and productivity use cases, Intel has to pump high levels of power into their CPU's and have a complex architecture, in order to compete with AMD's equivalents. The heat that is generated off the intel high end CPU's is crazy and especially when performing intensive work, like rendering. This is clear evidence that illustrates how intel are having to push an old fabrication node to its limits in order for it to perform at the levels of its competitor. The trade off, unfortunately is a much higher power consumption and this equates to higher thermals, which even the best cooling solutions have trouble to keep at bay. Also, we have recently learnt in the mainstream media about intel's high end SKU's suffering from degradation due to excessive power tables being assigned as default in motherboard bios. So what does intel do. They go and blame the motherboard manufacturers. I find this very bizarre, as I have been a long standing intel platform user, going back to the Pentium one, right up to my last intel chip, being the 9900K. We always used "Multicore enhancement" which was on by default and if we decided to manually overclock the CPU, the advice was to always max out the power limits. I never suffered any degradation on all the intel CPU's up to my last one. So after much deliberation, I decided to go with the company that actually innovated and produced a new CPU architecture based on the latest fabrication nodes available from TSMC. I am more than happy with my 7800X3D. I play long sessions on FPS games and this CPU never goes above 65c and it is -30 curve optimiser under PBO, whereas my old i9-9900K would easily go into the 80c range. The more advanced processor will run more efficiently in both power and thermals and this is what you need to understand.
It is the equivalent of 20 year old turbocharged car being modified to heck in order produce 350 bhp, compared to a modern car using new technologies and producing the same output without the extra level of strain.
