Giga Computing, GIGABYTE’s new subsidiary for high-performance servers, workstations, and mini-PCs, has forecasted the power consumption demands of some of new CPUs and GPUs that Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD are planning to release in the years ahead. According to the roadmap, CPUs that are released by 2024 or 2025 will draw as much as 500 to 600 watts, while GPUs will be similarly demanding, with certain GPUs from NVIDIA expected to draw as much as 700 watts. NVIDIA’s Grace CPU+GPU combo is also shown with power consumption figures of up to 1,000 watts. Giga Computing recently launched a new ultra compact PC kit called the BRIX that features 13th Gen Intel Core U-Series mobile processors, including the GB-BRi7H-1355 with Intel i7-1355U.
From a Giga Computing press release:
With Intel’s 7nm manufacturing process that produces Performance-core (P-core) and Efficient-core (E-core) architectures, users can benefit not only in a performance boost, but also compute with greater efficiency. Besides its lightweight, compact footprint, all new mainstream BRIXs still deliver powerful computing that fits perfectly in any IoT employment, whether for office use, education use, home use, digital signage, medical care, or KIOSK.
These advanced processors also deliver stunning graphics and unparalleled connectivity, providing an unparalleled immersive display and lightning-fast wired and wireless connections. You can scale BRIX from BRi3H (Intel Core i7-1315U) with a total of 6 cores to BRi7H(S) (Intel Core i7-1355U) that has a total of 10 cores and a turbo frequency up to 5 GHz (P-cores). Additionally, the product supports Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+), next-gen Intel Iris Xe Graphics, and enhanced image processing to enjoy a balance of performance and value wrapped into a BRIX that’s right for you. Compared to the prior BRIXs with 10th Gen Intel Core processor, the new 13th Gen processors can easily boost performance, as much as 88% in multi-threaded workloads and up to 140% in single-threaded ones. With the above benefits, users can experience faster browsing and better productivity to accomplish more.

We really as consumers need to demand efficiency. This every growing power creep is getting stupid. Soon enough the only computers you'll be able to run at home are laptops and tablets. Anything else will require a specific power installation to be able to run.
You know how when you buy an EV you have to get a charger installed at your home? Now we're gonna need a special, dedicated power station with custom power cables installed in our homes to run our desktop PCs.

That's what I've been saying in watching the current top-tier CPU/GPU race. Hobble together an overclocked 13900K and overclocked 4090 and things already look pretty scary. Throw in a 40-55 inch high-end display and that can add upwards or over another 100+ Watts on top of it all.

You know I'm wondering if this is the goal. Short of GPU manufacturers... how many consumers cycle through laptops. Manufacturers want people buying laptops and swapping them out every 2-3 years in whole to get in on that recurring revenue that the stock market so strongly desires.
Samsung is already offering what equates to subscription based laptops. You can get their Samsung Ultra laptops for around 140 a month for 2 years. Just in time... to get the next next one. Just like their freaking phones...
