Intel officially introduced the new processors Comet lake-s – From powerful deca-core to simple Celeron. In total 32 new products with different characteristics and prices were shown.
However, there was something that was not said at the presentation. Judging by the Intel website, the TDP is the average performance in watts when the processor power does not exceed the baseline. However, during acceleration, heat transfer can increase. In other words, power consumption under load can be significant above the “passport” level.
According to the German resource Hardwareluxxwho obtained official documents, consumption can reach 250 watts Core i9-10900K. It looks like this:
The table shows the indicators TDP, PL1 and PL2. These are respectively the heat packet, stable expected energy consumption and peak maximum consumption. Thus, at maximum, processors can almost double the base level.
By the way, the operating time in this mode is minimal. So, Core i9-10900K can operate at such power for about a minute. The chips themselves will hit the market in May.
