350W even for 12C/24T is little bit overkill. Probably they will be closed to 120-130W.

  You're right that it probably won't run that hot, but AMD will probably keep the TDP up at 350W with everything else - they did that with the last generation of Threadripper Pro - everything has a 280W TDP including their 12C/24T model. Since this will mostly be an OEM part, I think that makes sense. By slapping the same claimed TDP on all cores, vendors can offer all SKUs using the same thermal solution (though obviously the low end will probably be overspecced). Also, I don't think it'll be down at 120-130W - the 7900X (also 12c/24T) has a TDP of 170W, and a max socket draw (which it will hit) of 230W.

  That's with a base clock of 4.7GHz, though. It's very high, but not impossible. The 12-core Ryzen 9 7900X has a TDP of 170W, and that's with a significantly smaller package. The 16-core EPYC 9174F already has a TDP of 320 W with a base frequency of 4.1GHz and a boost frequency of 4.4GHz, in a package quite similar to Threadripper.

    This might be anathema to some people, but how much does the TDP change if you activate ECO mode on these bigger chips? From my testing on an older Ryzen, ECO mode left single core performance unchanged, multicore numbers dropped like 4%, and temperatures went down over 5C. All of which is totally worth it to me.

      It’s even more drastic on the new Ryzens.
