feels like m1 broke a lot of people's brains about performance-per-watt. like, maybe that metric matters if you're running a laptop that has a battery and physically heats up your lap. but nobody with a desktop pc cares about a 100w tdp difference so long as the chips can be cooled

I care about a 100W TDP difference in that a cheap cooler will sound like a jet engine, and a powerful cooler will cost more, in addition to a hot CPU making my room warmer.

who are these mythical consumers that are so price sensitive for a $100 cooler but not when it comes to an $800+ cpu
