Not sure why there's all this talk about efficiency. It was a world record overclock attempt with LN2.

Exactly.

Lately, efficiency is a sensitive topic and some people tend to get triggered. Then, others have to chime in and work an agenda. Before you know it, we're fully derailed.

I can tell you the reason I was interested in W/core was basically out of curiosity in how it compared on that front with desktop CPUs at peak turbo. That's relevant, because it could indicate whether there might be any more headroom for someone to clock it even higher.

6GHz on all 56 cores perhaps?

Okay, so if Golden Cove used about 34 W per core @ 5.5 GHz, how high do we reckon Raptor Cove-R could clock at 34 W? I have trouble believing you'd get all the way to 6.0 GHz, but we'll see.
