With people crying all the time that intel is using too much power it's really weird that everybody keeps saying that intel making steps towards less power
and better clocks at the same time is a waste or a joke...
Just don't use a mobo that pumps all of the cores with way more power than allowed and don't use the e-cores for things they weren't meant for.
