AMD updates AM5 socket details: TDP limit increases

At the Computex 2022 event held recently, it was revealed that AMD made a mistake by sharing new details about Ryzen 7000 processors and motherboards with AM5 socket. The company said today that the 170W PPT (the highest amount of power a socket can supply to any processor) value for the AM5 socket at the start of the presentation is incorrect.

Power limits changed

Apologizing to Tom’s Hardware for the mistake, the red team said, “AMD wants to release a fix for socket power and TDP limits for the upcoming AM5. AMD Socket AM5, 230W “It supports TDP up to 170W with PPT up to.” However, changing the specified 170W PTT value, the company said that the highest power consumption of AM5 with a multiplier of 1.35 (170 * 1.35 = 229.5) used in Ryzen processors. Confirmed it’s 230W

Company’s previous Considering that the 4th generation AM4 socket has a PTT value of 142W, we can say that there has been a significant increase in the total power consumption limits with the AM5. The increased power consumption limits will allow the Ryzen processor to be used in tasks with more than 16 cores and requiring thread-intensive tasks. expected to assist.
