In my post above, I did not take a position of whether any of these power limits are reasonable or not. What I simply stated is that if this news was about Intel cpus, I can guarantee you that the AMD fbs would be posting all over calling them power hungry, fire hazard, spaceheater, nuclear power station, uncoolable, inefficient, etc, etc. But now that’s AMD there are all sorts of justifications: the number of cores, the performance, the duration of power draw, etc, etc. The other day there was an article about Intel’s Alderlake cpus having an increased peak current limit requirement, which is exactly the same thing (peak power requirement is peak current limit requirement for a very brief period (typically 1ms) times 12V ). Just have a look at the comments and read what the AMD fbs were saying. If you want to be amazed look no further to the incredible double standard and hypocrisy of AMD fbs...
