AMD changes its statements, Ryzen 7000 will consume up to 230W
After constantly assuring the press and fans that the 170W exhibited at Computex 2022 was the maximum power of the socket, the company has officially verified that the amount is, in fact, the maximum TDP specification for the Ryzen CPU.
This does not imply that the Ryzen 7000 CPUs would have a variant with a TDP of 170 W, as AMD's Robert Hallock stated only two days ago that the value of 170 W was from the PPT, which is the maximum power for the socket. The increased maximum power for the socket of 230 W is nearly as high as the Core i9-12900K for Intel's LGA1200 socket, which offers a maximum load of approximately 241 W.
“AMD would like to correct the maximum socket power and TDP limits of the upcoming Socket AM5. Socket AM5 socket supports up to 170W TDP with up to 230W PPT. TDP*1.35 is the standard calculation for TDP vs. PPT for AMD sockets in “Zen”.
“This new TDP will enable significantly higher compute performance for high core count CPUs under heavy workloads, where we will have other 65W and 105W TDP models that Ryzen is known for today. AMD prides itself on providing the enthusiast community with products with the best transparency, and we want to take this opportunity to apologize for our mistake and any confusion we may have caused on this issue."
So in short: Power Specs: 230W Peak Power, 170W TDP.

Well this statement explains better the boost between 5.2 and 5.5ghz across multiple cores for a longer time period

I don't like the direction they're heading with the power usage, but it's *STILL* lower power than intel (16 full cores vs. 8 full and 8 mini ones), and probably a good chunk faster. Price will tell, I guess! (and how long the silicon can last under those conditions)

So, okn higher tier CPU, the PBO can set the clocks and proportional the power consumption up to that amount?
Achieving this is no small feature

Honestly, I'm just really curious to see how @Hilbert Hagedoorn tests them, and with what methodology and hardware. It's tricky to do anyway, since it seems like a feature highly dependant on cooling, which is NEVER the same for any two rigs.
Results may vary.

Its a peak power. If we look at that way 12900k pulls 300w.
