News MSI releases firmware with 105W TDP mode for Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X — multi-core performance boosted by up to 13%

MSI has announced AMD AGESA BIOS PI 1.2.0.1, a new BIOS update "for trial use" that allows users to crank the TDP of their Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X CPUs. This follows the leak of the update from earlier this week, whose performance numbers exactly match MSI's.

13% ? So the people who claimed Zen5 offered no generational gains WERE completely full of crap after all…what surprise. Regardless, matching zen4’s 105w performance at 65w had already proved it beyond question. Some people just enjoy lying.

“grain of salt” AAIYYYYEEEEEE!

No AMD said they were faster with a lower TDP, not the reviewers.

It likely won't impact gaming performance or single core performance much. It sounds like it would be similar to PBO, which doesn't really boost anything besides multicore performance. I guess we'll wait for others do to tests to confirm anything.

FYI, you present as being a fanboy. Remember, neither Intel or AMD are worthy of that type of behavior.

Of course a higher TDP doesn’t affect single core. I just wanted chastise anyone that wants either company to do badly. It benefits the consumer if both companies push and make progress.
