Fuck that. Can we go back to the low power, high efficiency compute of the late 2010s plz?
Your processor is fully configurable. Set it to whatever TDP you want; the lower you go, the more efficient it gets.
This is why AMD’s X3D chips are perceived as efficient. They aren’t actually that much more power efficient, but they’re configured to stay out of absolutely crazy voltage/clock zones most processors boost to. Cap a regular AM5 chip to the same power level, and it’s pure task efficiency wouldn’t be too far off.
The Apple M processors are pretty good at this. My MacBook has no fan and it’s incredibly performant with all day battery and my Mac studio is basically inaudible apart from extreme load, and yet can encode video in sometimes seconds in davinci.
