wait for 9th gen intel processors?

It really didn't.  A 2.4GHz and 3.4GHz  CPU could have the same TDP.  They just threw them into groups.  You knew that a 65W CPU would run hotter than a 95W one, but the 65W ones were never similar in heat output.  People learned a long time ago not to rely on the rated TDP.  It's not a "trick", companies just assign a ballpark number to each CPU.

 

TDP is only indirectly related to power consumption anyway.  It's the rated (but again, not really rated because it's never been accurate) output via heat, not input.  Each architecture has had a different level of efficiency, which is why the output is always lower with new generations when the rest of the specs are the same.

I put my point in one chart from Anandtech

Yeah....that just proved my point.  It's very much a made up number, designed to categorize them.

How does that prove your point? Most CPUs from Intel are under the TDP at least the non-k ones.

EDIT: i have also decided to wait for the next gen nvidia gpus.  so if i were to get an 8700k ATM i would just be using its integrated gpu

smart fella....

A 38W chip is rated at 65W.

Which is correct mathematically.

It doesn't. I feel like I might be a victim of trolling, but maybe you just don't understand TDP (which is okay). If that's the case, hopefully this will help:

I do think that you don't want to understand my point or your ego is coming in the way. TDP does give a nice presumption of wattage as I have shown with the graph. You can easily identify that a 65W TDP processor will consume less power than a 95W and a 95W than a 140W. And, most of the times the wattage will be less than TDP under normal load considering you are not running power viruses like Prime95.
