(All core load) Current ranges from 1.235v to 1.296v, min at 1.235v, max at 1.396v. Hottest core reaches 81°C. All cores operate between 75°C and 81°C using Cinebench r23 for 10 minutes. Under load, performance stays above 4.7. (Idle) 34°C, 4.8-5.0, VR VOUT 1.225v current/1.197v min/1.325v max. It meets expectations; it will be sufficient when needed. She doesn’t require it now, and her budget is covered by an iPad Pro costing nearly three times what I spent here. I already have the RAM, PSU, GPU, case, AIO, and storage.)
VR output specifications: 1.225V for current, 1.197V during minimum, and 1.325V at maximum. Looks acceptable.
Just set the CPU to all-core 4.8 and lower its voltage to around 1.25V. It won’t really help much, even if you push it hard. Fast RAM might be better than overclocking for performance now. I think you’re right that AMD chips can handle higher voltages than Intel ones, which adds some confusion about efficiency. Regarding your question: running at 1.25V on a 14nm process is likely more efficient and uses less power compared to a 7nm chip at 1.35V.
It's unclear if 7nm at 1.35v outperforms 14nm at 1.25v. The performance might be influenced more by the power delivery and thermal behavior than just the manufacturing process. Intel CPUs are often marketed with exaggerated performance claims, which can make them seem like they run on high-energy systems.
