>threadripper almost doubles in power draw when oc'd

Holy crap

Yeah that typically happens in an overclock. My i7 is pulling almost 250w just on it's own after a decent overclock.

The auto offset is probably a lot higher than in desktop Ryzen, its also being applied across 4 dies.

It shows just how inefficient the 10 core 7900X is when idling vs 16 core 1950X

I don't understand you but at any rate a 10 core 7900X uses more power at stock under load than a 16 core 1950X

Oc TR seems like a bad idea for a few reasons. You really need to be utilizing all the cores all the time to justify it in which case you are probably doing professional work and shouldn't fuck with oc.

The only people who would OC either CPU are retarded epeeners. AMD and Intel's offerings in the HEDT sector are not really any good for gamers unless oyu are doing a lot of other stuff like streaming, encoding, VM's at the same time. But you will pay a penalty FPS wise. It depends on if you are after FPS epeen or want a smoother experience for multitasking or not.

Either way TR is the better choice in that regards in terms of price to performance ratio.
