Review: ASRock B560 Steel Legend

Power Tests

This is interesting. The B560 Steel Legend idles at 10W lower than either Z590. Intel's specifications show a maximum chipset power consumption of 6W for both, so this must be a case of an optimised BIOS.

The Blender power consumption is lower for both ASRock boards because they run the benchmark at a lower frequency. In Cinebench R23, however, all three boards are pretty close together in terms of performance and energy consumption.
