AMD: 'No more reason to buy Intel'

AMD Client Product Management Director Travis Kirsch mentioned some of the reasons that The new Ryzen is not just a cheaper alternative'.

Η family of Ryzen 3000 has already created the necessary hype in the community of enthusiasts and not only, while looking at the architectural changes and improvements we see a fairly complete packet with features and available models for every possible need. Of course a significant part of the hype also includes the 16-core for the mainstream AM4 socket Ryzen 9 3950X with the 105W TDP that promises less heat release than a similar Intel processor.

AMD seems to be emphasizing the fact that in this generation its processors will definitely be cooler than their Intel counterparts and the tests included a Core i7 9700K along with the Ryzen 7 3700X along with a thermal camera. The results look quite convincing since they have been carried out under the same conditions, something that we see from the interface of the FLIR camera, so we expect high competition between the two companies in this area as well.

The interesting thing here is how each company measures the TDP of its CPUs. AMD measures the manual usage scenario while Intel measures the TDP in the base clock so any use of the boost clock shows different results as longer times are always equal to higher heat dissipation, even without increasing the voltage - but offering higher performance to users .
