As expected given the increase to the default TDP, there is a clear increase in CPU power consumption with this flagship Granite Rapids server processor SKU but at least it makes for a nice boost to the performance.
In cases like OpenFOAM CFD, the average power consumption of the Xeon 6980P 2P was just a ~6% increase over the EPYC 9684X 2P.
Or around a 14% increase in average power use while running Blender.
