AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X is an Absolutely Efficient Monster Chip, Wrecks Intel's Top 165W CPU at Just 140W

Using the AMD Ryzen Master utility, the folks over at Computerbase were able to get their Ryzen Threadripper 3970X 32 core processor to run at various TDPs. The TDPs ranged from 180W, 140W, and even down to 95W, just to see how the CPU performed when tuned for higher efficiency. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X has a stock configured TDP of 280W at which it delivers its stock clocks of 3.7 GHz base and 4.5 GHz boost (single-core). Running at a lower TDP would yield lower clocks but it provides higher efficiency which is great if you're looking to run your setup 24/7 under intense workloads.
