You know, the person we talk about didn't even post the link to the source. Do you think it is weird we doubt the obviously fishy-looking result in those circumstances? We don't know how credible reviewer it is, what were the settings, components, etc. I will trust the PCPer data much more eagerly. If there is some good explanation for the 700W nonsense, I'm all ears, but in the meantime, I'm going to ignore it as some fringe outflier. I might be partial and fanboyish, but I'm not gonna "+1 like" obvious bullshit just because I wish it was true.

On another topic...
Throttling to meet the TDP? Hardware.fr has one of the better power consumption results, so it would not be surprising. The regression is though - seems that when running x265, the clocks drop so much that the IPC boost from AVX2 assembly is more than negated and performance suffers.
