Quote from: q on September 05, 2022, 16:55:44I dont think that the rumors about horrible Ryzen 7xxx temps were BS, I just think that what actually leaked were some pre-production units with unfinished chipsets, beta bios, without proper voltage optimization and unfinished work inside CCX, or whatever else magic they are gonna do before releasing finished products... And maybe, just maybe these were pre-production units that were desined for some TDP/temp tortures, so AMD could actually see, if it will work during sustainšed 95°C or something like that. I am not AMD fanboy, but practices I mentioned above are very common before releasing CPUs....

That sounds about right. People were very excitable after hearing about 170W TDPs and +1 GHz frequency gains, so they jumped on thermal rumors.
