Raising the TDP by over 60% through a firmware update sounds dangerous, but AMD clarifies that the CPUs have been validated at 105W. What’s more, the 105-watt limit is warrantied — so you can safely unlock it without worrying about voiding the warranty. AMD does note, however, that you’ll need a better CPU cooler to keep all that extra heat at bay.

AMD’s latest Ryzen update allegedly delivers even better performance and more options for desktop users.

With the launch of the new X870 motherboards, AMD is also releasing the new AGESA PI 1.2.0.2 BIOS to improve Ryzen 9000 Series performance.

What felt like Zen 1 days, the Ryzen 9000 series launch was met with criticism, disappointment, praise, and a varied and mixed conclusion depending on what was being tested, apps or games, and how many,

AMD is releasing new BIOS updates that will boost performance for its Ryzen 9600X / 9700X processors and address some latency issues. The performance improvements and latency reductions arrive around a month after disappointing Zen 5 desktop CPU reviews and appear alongside updates to Windows 11 that include optimized AMD-specific branch prediction for both Zen 4 and Zen 5 chips.

It's raised TDP for two CPUs, reduced core-to-core latency for the dual-chiplet CPUs, and optimizations are built into Windows now.
