Why don't we get Steve to test gaming power consumption? I'm sure the 8400 will be lower, so yes, more efficient.
Please explain to me how a 1600 that draws more power and delivers lower frame rates is the more efficient chip for gaming?
So your only metric for claiming it's more efficient is....your opinion? LOL, okay bro, you won the argument.
Efficiency is measured by performance / watt, not by watt alone. You have no idea do you? In Firestrike Ryzen consumes more power but it also gets 50% better performance. Check the first page of the benchmark and you'll see what I'm talking about.
