We are measuring power drain at the wall, excluding the monitor and focusing just on the system. For load tests, we run Cinebench R11.5 64 bit.
Power efficiency is good, but slightly worse than the Core i7 2600k, both when idle and when at full load. The FX8150 leads the pack here, in the test it actually won't want to lead!

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.

Nice CPU, but im happy with my 2500k. hope it lasts at least another year with the games I play !
Very nice indeed. I like the asrock board, most of the p67 micro atx boards sucked
Interesting to see them releasing a CPU at the same price as the 2600k for the X79 platform. Wasnt expecting that.
It looks like the Cyberlink MediaEspresso tests didn’t use Intel Quick Sync Video on the Intel Core i5 2500K or Core i7 2600K/2700K systems. Those processors would appear higher up the table if that was enabled and used.
Well l have the asrock extreme 4 m with 16 gb trip memory with 2xssd two hard drives all in raid 0 with 6600it x2 fps battlefield 148fps 17_3820 CPU ut very fast it for sale
