You are generallly on a variable tarrif which are basically locked to 34p max because of the £2500 scheme and how that works or you are on a cheaper fixed already. There are a very few and minor ones out there but literally there is a limit per unit being charged in the UK as domesitc. Yes it may be a penny or two different. We are not talking anything where my calcs have shown you are at possibly £77 at home on domestic use or even £150 a year for an office on business at 88p a unit.

How does the Gamebar work exactly? Does it turn off the other CCX or just move the game to the cached one? I was wondering if you were streaming a game for example, would you still have the full use of the CPU for those other tasks like streaming?

Edit: Just read that the Gamebar may indeed turn off the CCX. This sounds like a pretty big issue for gaming and streaming for example.

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

He’s doing it because it’s efficient believe it or not.

Counterproductive when you buy a 7950x3d and also have a 13900k at the same time. That’s your efficiency argument up in smoke :cry:

Next month it’s £3300 I believe. I’m not on the 34p rate.

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.

Not sure how you get that.
Electric is 34pence per KWh.
100W for 7.5 hours a day, for 251 days is

(100 / 1000) * 7.5 * 251 * 0.34 = £64

We was talking business rate at £0.88. However for wahtever reason jigger is paying apparently more than the £0.34 domestic rate in UK when nobody should be paying more than that per unit (in 95% of any tarrif) and the others are within a few pence still. Maybe he on a really obscure tariff.

I wasn’t talking about business rates. Those costs (if we can’t get a better rate than 88p) would be circa £300 PA per system.

I just watched the PC World video and this does sound like an issue. If you are gaming essentially you have an 8 core CPU and everything else goes onto that CCX as well. There should have been more awareness about this amongst the media. I will probably return my new build based on this. Maybe wait and see if there is a more elegant solution further down the line. Apparently it does work if you game and use another program in the background that will utilise all of the cores. It wakes them up effectively.

This guy is such an idiot, its prioritising the CCD with the cache when gaming for the best performance, its not a "problem" its by design, its does not have a "dummy CCD on it" its a full dual CCD 16 core CPU.

But it parks the other CCX right? I am pretty sure he said he tested it and unless he ran a program that utilised all the cores when gaming to wake the other chip up, it stayed parked and everything ran on the cached chip. Are you saying if you game and stream at the same time the other non cached CCX is active to help with the tasks? If so it's fine.

Yes its parked, like any core on any CPU is parked when not in use, its not a "dummy CCD"
