Although new generation architectures and nm improvements continue in today’s PC market, we see that especially graphics cards and processors need more and more power. Now a new image leaked from Gigabyte shows that next-generation CPUs and GPUs could reach unprecedented TDPs in the next two years. Here are the detailsTDPs can exceed 600W
Looking at the shared images, we see that by the end of 2025, high-end Intel and AMD CPUs will have a power consumption of 500 and 600 W, respectively, and PCIe GPUs will have a power consumption of 500W. In addition, the list includes NVIDIA’s SXM5 standard, where the Hopper H100 currently draws 700 watts, and the Grace Superchip in the 600W-1000W range.
As you may have guessed from the parts we mentioned, let’s point out that these products only target the server market. However, this information shows us that the power efficiency from newer and smaller fabrication processes has been greatly reduced. There is also another reason for the rapid increase in power consumption. And that’s because the demand for computing is growing faster than ever before.As you know, Nvidia, Intel and AMD have recently shifted their focus to artificial intelligence technologies. Therefore, we may encounter similar power increases in new generation CPUs and GPUs. Because Zen 5 and Arrow Lake processors can officially exceed the 150 watt limit. However, we can say that it is still early for values reaching 500W.
