Why not go for Intel since they are top in efficiency in both idle / light and heavy usage. The 13700 topped the entire chart lolThose who are interested in low power consumption idle may go for Zen4 without IO die. Those who are not (like me), can go with Ryzen + IO die. There are alternatives.
i7-13700 consumes 83 watts from +12V line.
i7-13700K consumes 257 watts from +12V line.
Now, maximum turbo power for both are:
i7-13700: 219 W
i7-13700K: 253 W
So yeah, I totally agree ""
