Hi David,
Yes, it’s feasible to lower the base frequency of the K variant to match the non-K model while keeping performance at a high level. You can achieve that by downclocking the K (3.8GHz) version to around 2.9GHz and then boosting it back to normal speeds. This way you get the energy benefits of the K without sacrificing turbo performance. Let me know if you need more details!

At idle the CPU won't reach 3.8; it will lower its speed to conserve energy. For gaming, a 10600K is just as effective. If you want lower power usage, consider reducing the voltage on the K and they tend to handle it more efficiently.

I believe it's enough to reduce the multiplier to 29. I'm not sure about the boost settings. If you're looking to cut electricity costs, consider the Ryzen 3700X. No need for downclocking.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll go with the K version and experiment with the voltage and multiplier settings. The 3700X looks promising, but I need the integrated GPU that fits my current build. David

It sounds like you're interested in an 8-core processor featuring integrated graphics. You'd like to see AMD release a chip comparable to the latest I7 series.

Thanks! You're wondering how to use the IGUPU. That kind of performance is possible with a budget used card costing around ten dollars. Alternatively, you could wait for the Ryzen 4700G which includes an integrated Vega GPU and eight cores. It's been mentioned before, but it's not available yet—perhaps around Christmas.
