Comment on i3-8100 vs g3930
SheeEttin@lemmy.world 1 year agoYeah it’s a rough number, but it can be used as a guide to estimate power consumption, max performance, and stuff like that. In this case, running an identical software stack, you can say that it would probably result in slightly increased power usage. A better CPU might mean more efficiency, but you’re also running more GHz and more cores.
If you wanted hard data, you’d have to run benchmarks.

I agree but many use it as if it’s actual power consumption
