Intel Core i9-10900F sample pulls up to 224W

TechPowerUp came across rumors that Intel's Core i9-10900F can draw up to 224W under load. This IGP-free version of Intel's upcoming 10-core beast has a 5.3GHz Boost and up to 4.5GHz all-core Boost. But to reach those levels, quite a bit of power is needed.

The i9-10900F 10-core/20-thread processor allegedly has its PL1 value set at 170 W, and PL2 at 224 W. The latter is probably needed to give the chip's TVB algorithm power headroom to achieve either the chip's 5.30 GHz TVB max frequency, or its maximum all-core boost frequency of 4.50 GHz. The latter could be Intel's strategy to take on AMD's Ryzen 9 3900X and 3950X in multi-threaded benchmarks (run 10 cores at 4.50 GHz).
