#CPU efficiency

This impressive feat was possible by bringing the CPU's temperature down to -190°C (-321°F), allowing it to run stable and cool even at extreme speeds. While these levels aren’t necessary for everyday gaming, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is clearly designed to handle intensive gaming and high frame rates, making it one of the most advanced CPUs on the market. The CPU’s energy efficiency is also notable: even when pushed to this extreme, it consumed only around 104W, drawing 2.25V instead of the usual 1.2V.
