Les Ryzen 8C/16T actuels (3.6/4.0 GHz) dépassent bien les 95W de TDP. Logique vu les résultats obtenus dans nos tests.

It’s worth noting that AMD’s Ryzen will be feature an unlocked multiplier. As such, users will be able to overclock their CPUs without any major issues.
What’s also interesting is that AMD’s Ryzen was able to compete with Intel’s Core i7-6900K. During AMD’s New Horizon event, the red team showcased Ryzen (clocked at 3.4Ghz but with an unspecified turbo frequency) matching – and in some cases surpassing – Intel’s Core i7-6900K.
AMD has not revealed how much Ryzen will cost and its exact release date, so stay tuned for more!
