Intel managed to pull 74w while gaming, what? :D

On their own website it shows base is 125w ans boosting 181.

It's pretty decent at MT though and at least stock it does around 160w which any decent aio/air cooling can handle. While I'd probably take a 5800X3D over it for gaming it's still much better overall than a 7700X/7600X unless you pair them with 300 usd DDR5 which currently makes them a terrible value.

The only bummer is the dead platform... I think I'd still prefer the 13700k just becuase if necessary I could disable E cores and still have 8 good cores.

Tdp does not mean it is running at that power usage at all time.

Or maybe Intel's enjoying putting the screws to AMD for once.

It did vault the 13600k to 2nd place on the best sellers list on Amazon so that's pretty great.

Wonder if this is to compete with the 5800X3D price reductions.

13600K is better, but not by a huge margin in gaming. In productivity it's much better.

keep in mind, W1zz leaves out 1% and 5% lows in his reviews. if you look at reviews for those numbers, raptor lake decimates AMD across the board including the 5800x3d, other than a couple outlying games like Factorio, where the x3d dominates, but vast majority of games its impressive how much better the 1% and 5% lows are on raptor lake, which translates into overall smoother gameplay experience in a long gaming session.
