That's barely more than my single 12400F with only 6 cores (when performing work). Wow.

12400F max turbo power is 117 watts.

Maybe if you don't overclock it to 5.3GHz. I can easily pull 130.

You're comparing a cheap consumer grade 6core overclocked well beyond design operating at full load to a high end datacenter chip designed for performance and efficiency under idle conditions.

Your statement is correct, but I'm not sure the comparison really means much?

Nothing datacenter AMD is efficient under idle condition.

If your lights don't dim when overclocking, are you truly overclocking?
