Uhm, yeah, because it's a X3D.
5800X3D is super efficient, more so than the 5800X in most cases.
Wha, really? I thought it's with a bit more iGPU and some caches and higher clocked, for gaming?
It doesn't have an iGPU, and it's actually clocked lower and doesn't allow overclocking because it's harder to cool. In games it's still a lot faster because of the larger cache. The 9000 series of X3D processors don't have those limitations any more, which is why they are less efficient compared to the normal X variants.
That said, the newest chips can use a lot more power but also deliver more performance per watt if you limit them (eco mode), so efficiency is actually a fairly complicated topic nowadays.
Guess i mixed that up.
