    Like many people are saying that’s 2.6W per core. Which is actually very good.

    My laptop is running an Intel CPU with a TDP of 45W, which doesn’t seem as bad as that one until you realize that it’s only 6 cores meaning it uses 7.5W per core. If we multiply by the number of cores this CPU has we get 1440W if it were as inefficient as my Intel CPU, and that’s a very conservative estimate which assumes my CPU is as efficient as intel claims the Intel Core i7-9750H is, it actually might be much worse considering how hot this laptop gets, especially when gaming (though I don’t game on this laptop anymore for that reason).

    Bottom line, this is a very efficient CPU, but it’s also an insanely ovepowered CPU that most people will not use or need. Only datacenters and extremely dedicated power users need a CPU anywhere near this powerful.
