I was looking forward to zen3 apu, but i might have to settle for a rocket lake budget cpu because intel xe will be the first to support av1 hardware decode.
if intel keeps the $180 price for the i5 11400, that could be a better bargain than the upcoming $150 ryzen 3 5000g with 50% more cores.
but while testing the ryzen 4300g quad core barebones pc, I measured 7w idle at the wall.
I'm wondering if 14nm intel chips can get as low watts with just the barebones cpu/mobo/ram/ssd.
can intel desktop systems idle at 10w or less?
