MSI's latest firmware has a new 105W TDP option that boosts the Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X TDP from 65W to 105W with a simple toggle.

So, does this mean they are 65w or 105w parts? How will they be sold in the future? I mean, I figure it's a permanent change, but could be wrong.

AMD is raising the power and Intel is lower theirs, very interesting

OHhhhhh boy will PBO and more wattage... 360 AIO again and again

That's the only way for amd to compete with intels core counts. Moah powah.

Considering that leaks have Intel keeping the 125W TDP, which is based on all cores active at base clock speed, they haven't really reduced power at all. Remember that the 14900k has a max official boost of 253W but a 125W TDP. Now it is possible that Intel's peak power will be lower. On the other hand we know what peak power (PPT) for an AMD chip will be based on TDP. PPT = TDP * 1.35 so a 105W TDP has a 142W PPT and a 65W TDP has an 88W PPT.

I want see the x3d option how will it will fry with the cache. If they want put more energy on these to compete with old ryzen. Will be a kind of trouble to AMD explain to consumers the bad numbers because the trapped heat and lower clocks. The 7800x3d will be the king for long long Price/Performance/Time.

That's what I'm wondering about too. I read elsewhere that AMD is working on some tricks with X3D. It was posited that one could be fixing the temp issues with the stacked cache. But that's just one idea on one article I read. But AMD did say they have some fun stuff coming for X3D. Can't wait for CES!

Or from the other way of looking at it ...

AMD can do what Intel chips are doing with fewer cores and threads. Either way, ARL vs Zen5 is going to be a fun comparison this year.

rumor has been they will be OC-able so shouldnt really matter. letting em have actual OC means they have figured out (at least some) of the sensitivity to power

Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that too.
