Power efficiency remains important to PC users and Intel and AMD have both made great strides to improve power efficiency. There are nearly a dozen processors in our power chart, but keep in mind some of the TDP’s of the processors:
- Intel Pentium G3258 – 53 Watts
- AMD A10-7800 – 65W
- Intel Core i7-5775C – 65W
- Intel Core i7-3770K – 77W

- Intel Core i7-4970K – 88 W
- Intel Core i7-2700K – 95W
- AMD A10-7870K – 95W
- AMD A10-6800K – 100W
