GN's power chart https://youtu.be/8KKE-7BzB_M&t=462 shows how ridiculous the power draws are for both 13th and 14th gen. But as https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/10bna5r/13900k_po... notes

> The difference between 205W and 253W is only about 3.5% performance. The difference from 150W to 205W is about 10%.

280W is too much! This even put them on Workstation HEDT class.

They are essentially workstation CPUs with that many threads.

And not enough pcie lanes.

I want the opposite of what Intel is offering for my home server. Give me lots of pcie lanes, but not insane power consumption.

The new Threadripper lineup? Threadripper Pro has a 12c and a 16c variant that should be around the 1000-1500$ area with 144 PCIe lanes.

In derbauer's test, he got a performance difference of 2.5% between 200W and 400W (the review sample he got didn't set any power limits whatsoever by default) on Cinebench.
