In their bid to outdo each other, both Intel and AMD have thrown traditional notions of "high" thermals and power-draw out of the window. AMD made several statements around this temperature, the most notable of which, is that one shouldn't be alarmed with the 95☌ load temperatures if the processor's basic cooling requirements are met, and should expect this to be its normal load temperature residency.ĩ5☌ is a mighty high temperature, especially for a processor built on the 5 nm node-the most advanced ever for an x86 processor. When our reviews of the Ryzen 7000 series went live last week, the buzz among tech forums and social media was surrounding its 95☌ operating temperature, which the processor was found not just hitting quite often, but basically residing in, under nearly all serious processing loads. AMD Ryzen 9 7950X "Zen 4" is the fastest desktop processor you can buy right now.
