ExtremeTech Intel’s Desktop TDPs No Longer Useful to Predict CPU Power Consumption By Joel Hruska on January 25, 2021 at 1:46 pm This site may earn affiliate commissions from the links on this page. Terms of use. Of all the metrics we commonly discuss at ExtremeTech, we’d argue TDP (Thermal Design Power) is easily the worst. If clock speed, core counts, IPC, and memory bandwidth are imperfect methods of comparing the capabilities of two processors, TDP — at least as it’s communicated on current Intel desktop CPUs — has moved past imperfection and is now downright b...
