CPU TDP

[pomkon]

Ryzen 1700x is a higher quality R1700

They have 95 and 65 TDP.

 

So 1700x is a better cpu. When doing the same task, shouldnt 1700x consumer less power/ produce less heat than 1700. Why is the TDP rated higher?

If both cpus are running at the same clock speed, would the power draw be the same?

 

Can this be said about intel cpus?

1700x is clocked higher -> more power

The 1700x and the 1700 are nearly the same exact processor except the 1700x is better silicon. That all comes down to the silicon lottery however. They perform the same clock for clock. The main difference is clock speed, and the 1700x outperforms the 1700, thus creating heat

Both are the exact same CPU, but the 1700X is clocked higher. The higher clockspeed will sort of account for the power draw, but TDPs aren't entirely accurate

relatively, yes. Keep in mind TDP isnt a measure of power pulled from the wall. Its just a measure of "Thermal Design Power".
