Yup. The H-Class processors are mobile processors. I doubt those power numbers are correct.
It says 156 watt on the sissoft screen, hence I did not even consider mobile. Thats worse than the 9900k !! (less speed for the same watts) And unusable for mobile of thats it @ that wattage.

My guess is it pulls ~ 1/2 of that or less @ it's turbo speed given it's a mobile part and the 9900k is extremely efficient at low clocks.

i3-8300 mentioned above pulling "165w" actually pulls 92w total system consumption under a worst case stress test scenario.

Any why on earth would anybody have use for a 92 watt laptop CPU, and with 8 cores 16 threads ? What, a 1/2 hour battery life ?

What am I missing, as I said before .......

Turbo Boost Long power limit MSR was set to such value, SiSoftware read it, and is presented as "Power".

Nothing out-of-ordinary to report here. Takeaway is this is a 8-core for the H-series (45 W) in testing.

Certainly limited use, but there's a decent market for mobile gaming, small form/all in one like the iMac, etc.

Well, it's probably not the TDP rating, that's what you're missing.

Even if we took the 6C12T 8850H and doubled it's TDP, we'd still only be at 90W, so why would an 8C16T H chip be at 150+?
156W is well over triple the TDP of the 8850H.

Exactly, the sisoft readout is useless. It's hilarious that people are thinking such a mobile part consumes more than a 9900K lol, or it's pure trolling from some known AMD shill.




Calling members shills is just not allowed

I got a reply from ozzy702 that it takes 92 watts. Even if thats extreme it still is way more than a mobile part should use IMO.

H series will take gladly 60W, and even more, at the CPU level, nothing surprising here, there are some tests at Notebokcheck for whom want to...check...

A lot of DTR's have no problem cooling up to 125w just for the CPU. On battery, the system is often capped at around 90w for total power consumption.

No, that 92 watt comment was for an i3-8300 as far as I can tell? And that's system power.

That is in reference to your post. At any rate, its appears to draw in that same neighborhood, and I think thats way too much for a mobile part.

But thats me, I guess they may have a use, just have to leave them plugged in all the time :)

I think it simply has to be inaccurate due to it being a test rig and an unknown CPU.
