AMD confirms Ryzen 7000 “5.5 GHz demo” doesn’t include overclocking



AMD Clarifies That Their 5.5 GHz Demo Was Running Stock Settings

AMD’s Robert Hallock and Frank Azor participate in PCWorld’s ‘The Full Nerd’ interview, where they answer some burning questions about the Computex keynote with the Ryzen 7000 CPU showcase.

Amid the reveal of the new AM5 platform and 600-series motherboard details, AMD provided new information on the Ryzen 7000 CPUs based on the Zen4 architecture. Although the new series isn’t scheduled to release until at least September, people are wondering what AMD really wanted to (and didn’t) tell its fans.

One such theme was the Ghostwire: Toyko game demo featuring 16-core engineering samples of a Ryzen 7000 CPU running at 5 GHz+ frequency. Robert Hallock confirmed today that no special cooling is involved in this test. AMD was actually using the 280mm Astec All-in-One Liquid Cooler for this demo. The CPU was running on the AMD Engineering Platform with 2x16GB of DDR5-6000 CL30 memory.

More importantly, this sample was not overclocked, It was running the stock frequency and exceeded 5 GHz with most of its threads. The frequency fluctuates between 5.2 to 5.5 GHz on many cores, but in the end, it will depend on the game. However, what AMD wants to say is that there was no overclocking involved and there was nothing special about this test or the CPU used.

TechTechPotato’s Ian Cutress sums up all the AMD claims on this demo in a single tweet:

In addition, Hallock confirmed that the 170W claim on the AMD Computex slides refers to the PPT (socket power), not the TDP of an individual CPU. Robert explains that the primary reason for increasing PPT power for the AM5 socket was to increase multi-core frequencies. Higher PPT means higher TDP, so no doubt this contributed to the higher frequency of the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU as seen in gaming demos.
