STOP!

The efficiency is geared more towards laptop users. It does virtually nothing for desktop users.

While this spawned from something incorrect (the total TDP is basically the total power used from what I've seen/read), I have to agree with them on this.

If I have a 100% efficient platform that uses 1000watts, it will produce no heat.

If I have a 10% efficient platform that uses 10 watts, it will produce 9 watts worth of heat (more heat than the other system).

I don't know about Haswell and Ivy's efficiency, but the whole "more energy automatically means more heat due to physics" isn't correct.

exactly, this is what I mean not idling voltage or anything, efficiency in how it uses the power.

Except Haswell isn't efficient. It consumes more power from your power supply than it's predecessors. All that "50% more battery life, 50% less power consumed when playing games and watching a movie" is just marketing bull.

Maybe, but what we are talking about is heat. Just because something requires more power doesn't mean it produces more heat.

Thnx to insane heat output we got watercooling loops these day's :D

The only people who complain about it are people that afraid to watercool with custom loop :D

Or the ones not having dinero fo' that :)))
