Put simply, because Ryzen 7000 is intelligent, it targets the maximum power and temperature limits and goes there as fast as it can because it knows that’s where it will get the best performance. In fact, this is the same design target we’ve had for a number of product generations, but it has not been until the Ryzen 7000 series that the platform has had access to a level of socket power that makes 95 C the temperature that delivers the most performance during multithreaded workloads… The chip is engineered to live its life at this temperature with no detriment to longevity or reliability. So let’s address the elephant in the room head on: Why does Ryzen live at 95 degrees under multi-threaded workloads? Is that too hot?īefore anything else, let’s be clear: All of the quality analysis for Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors was done at 95 degrees Celsius. But to push the boundaries, you have to break convention sometimes, and that can make people uncomfortable.

Whether it’s performance, efficiency, or longevity, this is just a killer processor. At AMD, we’re extremely proud of what our engineers accomplished with the new Ryzen 7000 series processors and platform from all angles.
