As a gamer, power savi g features mean nothing, only raw gaming and performance. That said, this thing pared up with all the right parts like fast DDR4, M.2 storage, and a fast NVidia card (with everything liquid cooled) just blows Intel off the map. Intel doesn't even offer a PC processor that holds a candle to my other Ryzen threadripper with 64 cores and 128 threads. Intel was king of the hill for a long time but got too complacent making marginal 7% gains with each new CPU generation. This turned out great for AMD. Thank you AMD for challenging status quo and for building CPUs that are worth making g me upgrade only Intel PCs in my home!!
