intel's new 48 core...rip power consumption<br><br><br>This is what I have found on multiple websites who claim. <br>edit: The chip can operate on as little as 25 watts- or at 125 watts when running at maximum performance - same as the energy consumption of two household light bulbs, says Intel<br><br><br>...sure intel,(reply>), @FortisProcer that is.... More power than my entire system running at full bore,(reply>), @Quiet Wanderer Z390 should be able to handle it. But the 9900K was hitting upwards of 500W when clocked at 5G on all cores. O.O,(reply>), @Terence D'souza minimum, I'm scared to see what the power consumption will jump to when people really push the overclock, if they can find a mobo that won't melt down first,(reply>), 225 watts,(reply>), Totally Awesome it doesn't even have hyperthreading
