As most of you know, Raphael is the codename for the latest 7000 series Ryzen processors from AMD, which will be released in the future. B650 motherboards for the next-generation hardware have been spotted by @9550pro on Twitter.

It appears that AMD's Ryzen 7000 series Raphael CPU is operating at a very high voltage of 1.5 Volts VCore on MSI's MAG B650 motherboard, according to a photograph supplied by the leaker on Reddit. While we don't know what SKU is being used in this instance, we do see a notation referring to it as an Engineering Sample, which indicates that it isn't a fully finished product. When the new AM5 platform is released, it is likely to be accompanied by DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 technologies.

Having high voltage doesn't necessarily mean high power consumption. It's just one part of the equation.

P = V × I

the real problem is how often ryzen goes into high vcore mode even under light load or idle.

Those are just bursts, and are within spec.
And mind you, current plays an important part in the equation.

Remember when CPUs had a voltage of 2v, or more. But consumed much less power than current CPUs.

It could be a very bad ES, a picture of a overclocking attempt or a chip with build in voltage regulator like Intel HEDT had.
