The editors of the RedGamingTech website obtained data on the dependence of the instantaneous clock rate of the Ryzen 9 7950X processor on the number of threads occupied. It should be borne in mind that these values may vary slightly depending on the type of load and the heatsink used, but they give a good idea of the overall behavior of the processor.
The clock difference between single-threaded boost and full-load boost is significantly less than previous generations, which is a result of the effort to achieve maximum multi-core performance and competition with Intel processors, than with generation Rapace Lake / Core 13000 pushes over 250 watts.
It should be emphasized that the graph shown above does not start from zero, but somewhere at 4.7 GHz, so the differences appear significantly greater than they actually are. The graph below, which we modified to start from scratch, would better match the real situation:
AMD will begin selling the Ryzen 7000 on September 27, approximately two and a half weeks from now.
