IT House February 4 news, for a long time, Intel used TDP (Thermal Design Power | Thermal Design Power) to label the power consumption of processors. Starting with 12th Generation Core, Intel changed this strategy to base power + Turbo power consumption.
As shown in the figure above, the processor base power (PBP) of the i9-12900K is 125W, which can be understood as the power consumption at the base frequency; the maximum Turbo power consumption (MTP) is 241W, which can be understood as the maximum sustained power consumption of the processor, and this power consumption can be changed by the manufacturer.
IT House understands that not only the 12th-generation Core desktop processor adopts the labeling method of basic power consumption + Turbo power consumption, but also the U, P, and H series for notebooks. As shown in the figure below, the i9-12900HK just released has a base power consumption of 45W, a maximum Turbo power consumption of 115W, and a minimum guaranteed power consumption of 35W.
Generally speaking, notebooks or brand desktops will customize the performance release of the processor according to their own thermal performance, and the power consumption value officially given by Intel has reference value.
