My biggest fear with Raptor Lake is the power draw. Intel said it's more efficient - but they claimed that also both for Rocket Lake and Alder Lake, so I'll take that with a truckload of salt. I wait for reviews to see if RL would be worth it for me or not. |
Well Raptor Lake will certainly draw more power one way or another. It has 8 more cores that can boost up to 4.3ghz on 10nm. While they are small cores, they are still cores none the less so I suspect it will be a lot more than Ryzen. Based on what I have seen, I think Ryzen may be better suited for you mainly because you do like that longevity of the platform and power efficiency. I think if you wait a little while, you may see Ryzen 7000 CPUs get discounted sooner than what happened last time and at that point, my criticisms against them will be mitigated.
