Intel i9-10900K High Power Consumption Explained: TVB, Turbo 3.0, & Tau

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
We're revisiting the Intel's Turbo Boost & Power discussion for the 10900K, 10600K, et al., plus talk on if boards impact performance, Thermal Velocity Boost & Turbo 3.0 definitions, & more. This specific internet comment presented a common misconception that prompted this idea: User online - So probably only expensive high-end motherboard will have the sustained performance showed on those reviews... That's not fully true, and we're here to explain why. In this video, we're defining Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, Turbo Boost 3.0, and answering the question of what Intel Thermal Velocity Boost is. This includes further definition and explanations of PL1 (Power Limit 1), PL2 (Power Limit 2), and Tau (Turbo time duration limit), alongside discussion of TDP on AMD vs. Intel. The piece is most heavily focused on addressing the misconception that only high-end motherboards can reach the performance seen in reviews, which is absolutely not true. As long as the motherboards are controlled and tested under expected Intel default settings, then all the results should be more or less comparable. The numbers you saw in reviews, assuming they're accompanied by stock PL1, PL2, multipliers, and Tau, will also match what's seen on low-end motherboards.

Don't worry Steve, I watch the the reviews fully. I just think that manufactures need to advertise the absolute maximum power a CPU can draw. If you end in a situation that you have a 600W PSU with a 10900K on an out-of-spec mobo paired with some idiotic 2080Ti which eats 350W, looking at spec which says 125W when in reality you could be hitting the PSU at 100+% (with peripherals) and get flaky performance or outright damage. Yes, decent solutions will not cause damage, but I know, you know, we all know that people literally use 30 PSU's because they do not know better or their SI is just screwing them over. As such, advertising a chip which can go well above the TDP creates potential issues which can sour first-time buyers (into bleeding edge enthusiast space).

I just wish there was a check-settings.exe tool so I could know what my evga z370 ftw is doing for sure. It doesn't tell me what the power spec is and it seems like frequencies don't drop to base, but wish a tool confirmed it.

The best way for me to consume Steve's content: Working on porting a costume from Resident Evil 2 to Resident Evil 3 while listening to Steve's voice in the background. Just perfect!

I don't care if I'm supposed to watch this whole video it's obviously about Warhammer 40,000 because you're talking about the Tau oh and I'm definitely going to rage about it
reply

Ok, so I think I finally understand Tau? It's just the period of time the CPU will run at Turboboost. Though I still don't understand where the word Tau even came from.
reply

I haven't watched it all but I'm excited for the PL1 and PL2 explanations because I have no idea in bios what a limit of 1-4095 means (Asus X299 tuf MK2)
reply

Personally I prefer review that give unlimited TDP to the CPU, because that's how I tune my CPU. But I respect GN position on testing a stock CPU setting.

I hope Intel comeback with some great cpus either that or amd gonna be the new intel were shitty cpus are only there for years and overpriced
