Intel's 14th Gen Core processor, although the performance improvement is the same as squeezing toothpaste, but the whole work is no smaller than the previous processor, and it has been reported that due to the high power consumption of this processor at full load, there are often errors when playing games, and even cause system crashes, and finally become player crashes. In order to make this processor more stable, motherboard manufacturers have created a new BIOS to limit the CPU's performance by adding new modes to solve the problem of system crashes.
ASUS has now added a "benchmark configuration" to the test BIOS, under which the power consumption given to the CPU is no longer 4095W or unlimited power consumption, but is strictly limited to 253W, which is consistent with the PL1 recommended by Intel, which means that motherboard manufacturers have no better way to choose, and in the end it is still a one-size-fits-all approach, limiting the power and it's over, as long as you let the Intel Core The i9-14900K processor is kept at 253W of power, then the system crash will be solved, in addition to this mode will also limit the voltage of the CPU to prevent the system from crashing if it is too high.
Of course, the biggest disadvantage of this is that the performance of the CPU is severely limited, after all, the CPU now gives 253W power consumption, and for example, the Intel Core i9-14900K processor full-load power consumption has exceeded 300-350W, although the desktop processor does not have a mobile processor to fancy the power consumption, but the power consumption limit still has a certain impact on the CPU, according to the test, the average performance of the CPU has been reduced by 8-9%, and the performance of some projects has decreased by 10% , which is already quite terrifying, and it can even be said that all the performance gains of the Intel Core i9-14900K processor are given back.
The only benefit of this may be that the temperature of the CPU is greatly reduced, when the power consumption is strictly limited to 253W, the core temperature has changed from 101°C to 89°C, and the current has also been reduced to 195A, and the voltage has also been reduced to a certain extent, that is to say, the pressure on the user's radiator is not so great, but after all, reducing power consumption is not a cure, in the final analysis, Intel's process technology is not strong, maybe Intel 20A can change this embarrassing situation.
