Intel's upcoming Alder Lake CPUs will be real power hogs.
Not just do they drive the peak Ampere up by about 15% in most cases and even almost 30% in the 65W TDP range (meaning it could even trigger overvoltage surge protection on some older, cheaper PSUs), but they even bring a new 165W power class and peak wattage rises by 60W almost across the board, from the 65W over the 125W to the new 165W top model (to a whooping 540W!), only on the 35W the increase is "only" 40W
The good news is that the base Ampere don't rise and on the 35W model even drops by 2 Ampere and these power draws probably result in high clock speeds - but what's the point of a 35W TDP if it's peak draw is a whooping 246W? Even worse is the 65W TDP range, who now draw almost the same Amperage as the 125W models, and it shows, with a peak wattage of 462W, only a measly 6W below the 468W of the 125W models.
Looks increasingly to me like Intel tries to out-Bulldozer the Centurion...
