Oh my, that's terrifying. Thought the 7950X was a bit too hot, then I see Intel's latest results...
I'm imagining what kind of monster AIO water cooler you would need to actually cool this. (Obviously air coolers are now out of the question, guess even a Noctua will fail to handle it.)

[ 3.2 ms ] story [ 21.6 ms ] threadCinebench is a poor general purpose CPU benchmark because:
1. Heavily favors SMT/Hyperthreading
2. Heavily favors CPUs with many slow cores, over CPUs with fewer faster cores
3. Extremely popular today because AMD pushed it in its marketing when Zen1 and Zen2 were favored by Cinebench disproportionally
4. Unoptimized for Apple Silicon/ARM
5. Uncorrelated with gaming
6. Generally poorly correlates with office/dev work

493W system draw under load with a largely idle GPU!
Under load, throttling after just 17 seconds.

But it is interesting to see the benefit of DDR5 with 13th gen vs 12th gen.
