Thanks for enlightening me. A simple search revealed some interesting points and
I agree with you.
>>> AMD gained a bad reputation during the Bulldozer era. Back in 2011 they released the FX-8150 which had very disappointing benchmarks, and it was shown to run hot and consume a lot of power. AMD royally messed up with the FX series. The saved a little bit of face with the FX-8350/ Piledriver refresh a year later, but these still ran hot and consumed a lot of power.
>>>AMD CPUs run cooler, if anything.
AMD only has a revolutionary technology that measures temperature at the die, at the transistor level, whereas Intel CPUs only measure at the Heatsink Level. So AMD CPUs do report āhigherā temperatures than Intel CPUs if you compare Tdie. AMD also has Heatsink Temperatures to compare to too.
>>>As of 2019 AMD has been able to make their chips more efficient and with similar power efficiency capabilities and actually smaller die than an Intel. However they also struggle with the frequency of the chips where Intel is the king of frequency (5.0 vs 4.3ish). However, Intel has sacrificed power consumption to get these frequencies and therefore tend to run hotter when at max speed.
So to conclude the answer, AMD doesnāt really run hotter than Intel. Intel and AMD are about the same under average loads. Itās the Higher performance Intel chips (e.g. iā9 9900k) under high load that are the king of heat production.
