These are for full system power consumption numbers...
Here's info from Bit-tech (full credit goes to them):
You can remove ~10% to stop relying on PSU efficiency and then extra ~70W to remove the influence of other components.
With my math, their FX-8350 is consuming 230W overclocked. Ivy consumes 110W overclocked.
Look at AMD FX and then at 3770K. See the difference? Now that's crazy.
And it's not just power from the wall, but also heat that will cook you in the summer. Such massive difference is not good at all.
And two more notes on this... 1.4V is nuts on IVB, it is not recommended for 24/7 operation.Originally Posted by FlanK3r
Also, without delidding, due to such high temperatures, you should understand that power consumption is going to be higher. Cool it down and it will consume considerably less.
(Remember this? Credit goes to TPU)
If it was delidded, temps would go down from 100C to 70C and so would power consumption.
Bit-tech's graph looks accurate to me. But it will obviously vary from sample to sample, as one might need 1.25V, and another might need 1.5V...
AMD is really far behind when it comes to manufacturing process. Still 32nm? Intel is on the second iteration of 22nm, and they are also using more complicated 3D transistor approach. Piledriver would look a lot better on 22nm.
