AMD: AM5 gets max ppt of 230W

The AM5 socket gets a package power tracking limit of 230W and Ryzen 7000 processors appear with a maximum thermal dissipation power of 170W. AMD has clarified this after incorrect statements about the maximum ppt.

AM5 sockets support tdps up to 170W and ppt up to 230W, AMD corrects its own initial statement to Tom’s Hardware. When announcing Ryzen 7000 at Computex earlier this week, AMD announced that AM5 would support a maximum ppt of 170W. That would mean it would be the absolute max for processors. Currently that ppt is at 142W.

Ppt stands for package power tracking and AMD calculates it by multiplying the tdp by 1.35. Currently, AMD has Ryzen processors with TDPs of 65W and 105W. A 230W ppt would mean Ryzen 7000 processors with 170W tdp could appear and that’s right, reports AMD_Robert of Technical Marketing at AMD.

Ryzen 7000 processors are based on the Zen 4 architecture, all get an igpu, have an L2 cache of 1MB per core and are produced at 5nm. The turbo clock speed of the Ryzen 7000 processors for desktops should “significantly” exceed 5GHz.
