When I was deciding whether to purchase 10900X or 10920X there was very little information available but I knew that 900 has slight base core advantage, 920 has slight max boost advantage, they are same at all core boost and have same TjMax. Two more cores doesn’t make a difference to me but it matters a lot to me if one CPU will generate less total heat when every core runs at same clock (would “have more thermal headroom” be correct term?).
Not having any info on temperatures I speculated if all cores on both CPUs ran at same speed 10 cores of 10900X will generate less heat than 12 of 10920X and purchased 10900X.
Now, in a typical case of post-purchase second guessing, I am wondering did I make a mistake with that assumption but still can’t find any info on temperatures of these CPUs that would let me compare them in apple-to-apple manner.
Can anyone, please, comment on assumption I was making, is it correct, or can point me in direction of data that would answer question does 900 have “more thermal headroom” (assuming all cores are running at same clock)?
