Latest CPU-Z Update Adds Support for Ryzen 7000 non-X SKUs: Possible 65W OEM-only Parts
The latest version 2.02 of CPU-Z adds support for a handful unreleased Ryzen 7000 series "Zen 4" processors. These include "non-X" SKUs, namely the Ryzen 9 7950, and Ryzen 9 7900. Keeping up with past trends, these are possibly 65 W TDP variants of the 7900X and 7950X to be released only in the OEM market, and will make it to pre-built desktops. In the past, OEM processors by AMD have found their way to brick-and-mortar retail stores, where they're sold off the tray. The retailers get these chips from AMD by claiming to be SI (system integrators). They tend to bundle these with motherboards, memory kits, and SSDs. AMD in its announcement presentation for the Ryzen 7000 underscored the extreme levels of efficiency "Zen 4" exhibits in chips with 65 W power limits. Single-threaded or lightly threaded performance is mostly unaffected, but heavy multi-threaded workloads could see lower performance in comparison to the retail "X" chips.
