The Ryzen 9 7000 may have a TDP of 170W

Yesterday, we reported that the official announcement of the next AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors could take place as early as next week, given that the registration page of the AMD "Meet the Expert" event, which will be held on August 4th at 18:00 CEST, it debuts with “Supporting the recent launch of AMD Ryzen 7000 processors…”. Although the event in question is mostly dedicated to motherboards from well-known manufacturers such as MSI, ASUS, ASRock, Biostar and Gigabyte (among others) equipped with the X670E chipset, the processors could be announced in advance, so between the end of July and the first days of August. Find more details about it in our dedicated news.

Apparently, the new processors based on the Zen 4 architecture, which will introduce several improvements, including a higher IPC, support for technologies such as DDR5 and PCI Express 5.0 and the integration of an RDNA 2-based GPU could have a maximum TDP of 170W, a significant increase over the current 105W. In particular, according to the latest rumors, all Ryzen 9 7000 chips will have a TDP of 170W and a PPT of 270W, according to the well-known leaker @ kopite7kimi.

All R9 SKUs with a normal voltage are base on 170W TDP .

After all, CPUs of this kind are usually purchased by users who need considerable computing power both for gaming and for creating content or, more generally, for rather expensive applications. The decision to increase the TDP on these high-end models therefore appears reasonable.| ); }
