Where I'm wrong?
You were wrong here:
They are already super efficient.
I don't know what data you are using to come to the conclusion that they are "super efficient". I mean, you're not even saying, "relatively efficient", but rather you're making it out as if they have managed to give us amazingly high performance with an impressively low power draw, and that isn't the case.
You were also wrong here:
It's only you that wanted moar power so they ran at stupid voltages.
I don't know why you think I was demanding these changes. That was a stupid thing to say.
Literally all CPU's and GPU last 7+ years ran at very high voltages. I've undervolted every CPU/GPU I had because I'm on SFF PC. My current rig is a a 5-litre SFF PC with 12600k and 3070 and both Intel and Nvidia (especially) are super power-efficient if you don't want to squeeze last 5-10% of performance.
The fact that you're saying you have undervolted every CPU/GPU is proof that I am correct. You're doing this because the CPUs/GPUs are not efficient by default. There is no other reason to undervolt your CPUs/GPUs.
