Yup, if I recall from the article the actual power numbers were NDA'd but pointed towards AMD destroying Intel on a battery usage basis.

Sadly very few companies are integrating the higher end Zen chips.




IIRC lately, Intel's real TDP under serious load is almost twice as the public value. I guess it's also valid to their server parts to a certain degree.

Intel has a habit of hiding some ugly things about their chips under NDA until it has competition or the chip is last-gen. The uglier thing is they're adding these values back to their documents later as a revision and telling look, it was already there! (cough, AVX base frequencies, cough!).

Competition and being a very big company changed them... a lot.
