Do you even look at the reviews you are posting?
The 11700k is faster than the 5800x in productivity even with power limits enforced and the power draw is barely higher than that of the 5800x.

Tom's chooses to use the lifted power limits numbers for the power comparison for absolutely no good reason.
Or there are different people writing the different parts of the review because it doesn't make any sense.

Two things:

1) Nobody really cares about how CPUs perform on synthetic tests like Handbrake (and I say this going back over the last 10 years of CPUs, all the way back to 3rd gen Intel and AMD FX days). The gaming numbers are what really separates one CPU from the next. The synthetic tests don't translate to real world performance.

2) If you're going to talk about power draw, that's another one of those benchmarks that really doesn't start mattering until you get into the really minute stuff. In the overall scheme of things, having one CPU consume 30 watts more power over the other isn't going to mean much unless you're calculating how much power your new CPU needs to consume (ie deciding what wattage PSU to buy) or your electric bills. Power draw hasn't really changed much on CPUs, except for that even the most power hungry ones don't consume the same amount of power they did 10 years ago.

do you even read the reviews ? or do you just look for the parts where its shows intel in a positive aspect, and clamp down on that, and keep posting about it ? over all amd uses less power then intel, EVERY review says this, and again YOU are the only one that says other wise, by cherry picking that one edge case, or test that shows other wise.

also, you seem to ONLY base your power usage fud on those edge cases, i keep saying OVER ALL. sure in some apps amd or intel use less power then the other, but again, over all, amd uses less, the reviews state this, but you seem to be missing this fact, where do you think waste of sand/silicon, power hungry, pathetic, etc come from in these reviews ?

keep cherry picking, and twisting things around to attempt to make your beloved intel look good, looks like you are getting quite good at it :)

Handbrake is one of the most used programs to convert video from one format to the other, there is nothing synthetic about it.

Gaming benchmarks are a very small part of a game where a script runs pre-determined things, where once loaded nothing new is loaded in unlike when you are playing and moving from one cell to the next.

AVEREGE performance from ALL the multithreading apps from the review that YOU posted.
Also AVEREGE power draw from running ALL the multithreading apps from the review that YOU posted.
So according to you cherry picking is looking at the overall picture, but I'm still not looking at the overall picture because I'm cherry picking the AVERAGE performance and power draw from ALL the tests put together.
Ok dude, there's no arguing against crazy.
