TDP not accurate compared to AMD

As said over and over again. Intel TDP values are lower because unlike AMD they have no onboard memory controller. When Intel releases their new chips that do have this built in, the TDP will most likely be near AMD.

So to measure it properly you would compare Intels chip + Memory controller TDP to AMDs single CPU

I think Intel have started heading in the right direction but at the moment it is still just marketing gimmicks keeping them ahead.
