GN's power chart https://youtu.be/8KKE-7BzB_M&t=462 shows how ridiculous the power draws are for both 13th and 14th gen. But as https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/10bna5r/13900k_po... notes

> The difference between 205W and 253W is only about 3.5% performance. The difference from 150W to 205W is about 10%.

In derbauer's test, he got a performance difference of 2.5% between 200W and 400W (the review sample he got didn't set any power limits whatsoever by default) on Cinebench.

280W is too much! This even put them on Workstation HEDT class.

They are essentially workstation CPUs with that many threads.

And not enough pcie lanes.

I want the opposite of what Intel is offering for my home server. Give me lots of pcie lanes, but not insane power consumption.

The new Threadripper lineup? Threadripper Pro has a 12c and a 16c variant that should be around the 1000-1500$ area with 144 PCIe lanes.
