"This will be the only processor (at launch) with a 65 W TDP" that is shame. The 3900 got good reviews, but it is very hard to buy, while 3900x is available. So I assume same will happen with 5900.
- OkGoDoIt 6y agoThey say lower-TDP processor should be available within six months. I think that makes sense, AMD wants to make the marketing splash with really nice high numbers at launch.
- pier25 6y agoYou mean like a 5700X ?
- omgwtfbyobbq 6y agoI wonder if the lower-TDP versions are whatever didn't make the high performance cut with part of the die disabled. If that's the case they would have to wait a certain amount of time to offer them.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoIn many bios setting you can adjust the dynamic overclocking with course and easy or more nuanced settings to give you what you want. Many times a lot of the power and heat comes from high dynamic overclocking which uses a disproportionate amount of power.
- loeg 6y agoYou can also underclock the high end parts by lowering the voltage and/or thermal limits that govern the behavior of CPB/XFR/PBO (the CPU's internal clock-setting mechanism(s) at P0). That might correspond more directly with the benefits associated with a 65W SKU without hampering performance more than necessary.
