From the creator

The Stilt & HWiNFO posted about a new Ryzen power reporting metric, specifically for Power Reporting Deviation. This story was reported on by others as indicative of “burning-out” CPUs.

In this piece, we’re tackling three objectives: (1) We’ll be defining HWINFO’s new Power Reporting Deviation, as put forth by HWINFO64 and The Stilt in his detailed and accessible research piece; (2) we’re talking about the “burn-out” concerns put forth by a recent Tom’s Hardware headline; (3) we’re testing the actual power reporting deviation versus real power as measured with hardware monitoring. This topic of power consumption is often ignored by PC builders and viewers in favor of gaming benchmarks, and that leaves out a critical part of understanding the product. Power consumption gives way to t
