Yeah, TBF it’s probably a little over £200.

BS. You run both on similar wattages, your bills will be the same. The zen 4 will be faster of course by 10-15 maybe even 20% in some workloads (and the 13900K will be faster in some others).

My power bills will be way higher on zen 4 cause of the huge idle and light load power consumption.

Shush now.

If you currently ran your system gaming 24/7 with an average power usage being 50w greater for Intel in gaming. Over a whole year would be around £149 at current electric costs. So no that is rubbish to suggest it would cost that much more.

Lets say you do work on the system 10hrs a day and that software is 100w more then. So that is £0.34 a day so working days per year would total £77.81 more. Lets say you only game 6hrs after that 10hr working day and so only the 50w difference. That is £0.10 per day by 365 (assume you game on weekends too) so £36.50. Add that to your previous working time and you are totaling £114.31 a year.

This doesn't include anything likely when you are on holiday, away, not gaming, days off work, sick etc. So yeah that just isn't realistic what you are saying.

Supplying an extra 100w needs extra cooling and hotter system components compounding more waste. All the required power is derived from your PSU. Check the efficiency of that, I bet you'll be lucky to see 70%. More power = less efficiency.

Maybe can be improved with future bios updates? Gigabyte seems to handle it better

Would love to see run down of more boards tested whilst idle

Most people will be measuring at kettle lead not the meter, so not a truly accurate measurement of power cost.

At one site we have been getting quotes of 88p per kWh and silly standing charges.

I have a an 80+ platinum so in that example at 100% load it is 89% efficient. basic 80plus is 80% at any load hence why it is set at 80PLus. Even Gold rated is 87%

With that I wouldn't expect any real sysmte to be much different for myself either. I run 4 lian-li fans at 800rpm and pump at around 50% speed 100% time. I would not expect the difference to be anything at all because I expect my cooling to be running exactly same should I have the Intel or AMD. However to note that the power drawer for my waterpump and fans to go 100% all time is 6w total.

You talking business rates I assume. Probably should lead with that. Everyone is talking about domestic use and you have not defined anything. Yes always outliers but you need to give context. Silly discussion otherwise.

But if you are then a standard working day of say 100w x 7.5hrs x 251 days, less holiday (say 21 days) gives 230 working days = £151.80 a year. That is still a super high power draw difference and the extreme end of anything shown in reviews.

The 88p is business. Well, hopefully less than that. It’s circa £200 at home.

Why would you run it at 100w extra for mt workloads? I'm sorry but it makes absolutely no sense.

The 13900k power problem isn't in applications and mt. There it competes well at sane power limits. It loses but not by a lot.

The problem is mainly in games where it's inefficient
 
<devils advocate> I mean, its entertaining watching everyone argue, but, if you are spending on an i9 or a 7950X3D I highly doubt an extra £100-£200 a year on Electric is going to annoy you? Surely? </devils advocate>

I mentioned a few pages back I managed to snag three X3Ds on launch day, two from a different retailer than OcuK. Well, only OcuK actually came through and despatched the X3D on time. The other retailer, who shall remain nameless, cancelled one of my orders (oversold) and didn't dispatch the other despite supposedly having stock.

What do you need three for are you a millionaire and have a computer in every room?

Well my 7950X3D didn't ship today, so must have missed the first batch. Have a busy week at work anyway, so not so bad. Think I'll survive with my 13900k in the meanwhile!

Good luck to all getting your CPU's tomorrow, hope they're good SP ratings and are fun to play with!

@Gibbo Any news on further 7950X3D deliveries please? :)

You already have a good processor do you game at 4k you won't notice any difference.
