14th Gen "Raptor Lake Refresh"

Power draw on these will be insane? Intel is probably just best off skipping a release altogether. Although clearly they won’t as the board manufacturers have been showing them all off with uprated power delivery…
Yes, same architecture, same node, clock speed raised by 100-200 MHz, power consumption in that range increases dramatically every 100 MHz.
 
if they implement DLVR then i expect power usage will remain as the same we have now with the 13900k albeit at high clocks ... considering the 13900k will happily consume between 250w to 450w on R23 depending on your settings i doubt we will be seeing anything higher than this and as stock i expect will be 253W same as we have now ... Cooling anything more than 350w requires some serious cooling equipment ie Direct die and chiller for 350W+

That's true, high end air coolers and AIOs hit a wall at around 330 watts, but the relevant question is, why would you need to cool 350w+? No mainstream CPU scales with that high wattage. The 13900k gets around 8% performance going from 125w to 253w, and from 253 to 350 is barely another 5%. If you are running long hour mt workloads there is no point in going above 200w.

Probaly the usual 2-3 times what it should be.

Very interested to see Raptor Lake refresh - I think it'll probably go down as the worst refresh ever. It just can't compete with Zen4X3D, based on what we know
 
11th gen v2?

Worse - 11th gen was a new architecture that had an IPC increase. Raptor lake refresh looks to just be higher clocks, at the expense of even higher power consumption. The elephant in the room is the DVRL (Digital Linear Voltage Regulator), which if enabled, may reduce power consumption - though this remains to be seen.

Either way, a very boring refresh, more akin to Haswell > Devil's Canyon, which was pretty pathetic.
 
Maybe the refresh will be based of chips like this .... 5.8Ghz P / 4.7 Ghz E@ 1.150v for a KS , the refresh should potentially be better than this :D

Holy mother of god. That's nuts :D

My 12900k needs 1.12v for the stock 4.9ghz
Yeah its certainly a golden sample , imagine if that had dlvr implemented.... same clocks at 1.0v:cry:
For reference my SP100 13900K is doing stock 5.5/4.3 at 1.191v 253w 72deg c in R23 , for 5.8 / 4.6 it needs 1.30v 360w 90 odd degs and it's direct die cooled .. nothing like the chip in the video , if the refresh is better than that will grab one ( voltage I put above are under load in R23)

Im also waiting for the refresh, was thinking about grabbing a 13900ks but ill just be patient. Don't care about overclocking that much, im just going to run stock clocks with whatever undervolt is allowed.
 
Still insanely high gaming power draw compared to Zen4X3D, no amount of binning will alleviate that.
I wouldn't call it insane, the worst game I've seen is TLOU which has it around 120w to 140w .... , mw2 mp at 280fps has it at around 120w , I think that is fine , yes be nice if it were a bit lower but hopefully that's what the refresh brings to the table :D
