* 65W TDP, 88W PPT
This little bit of sleight-of-hand from AMD was really really effective, boost TDP used to be called boost TDP, and Intel expected their TDPs to cover full load when boosting or under AVX. Then AMD made up this new number but it's not TDP it's uh, PPT, and marketed all their chips under a 30% lower number.
It's obviously worked because people do this "my CPU is only 65W!" thing all the time and no, it's not, it's 88W, unless you've turned off boost.
