MSI Releases Firmware with 105W TDP Option for Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X
MSI is excited to announce the upcoming release of the AMD AGESA BIOS PI 1.2.0.1 update, designed to enhance power delivery performance for the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X processors on our 600 Series motherboards. This new BIOS will include an option that allows users to increase the original CPU TDP to 105 W on these two Ryzen processors, providing an extra boost in performance.
With this new feature allowing the TDP of the new Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X processors to be increased to 105 W, as seen with the picture below, performance actually gain at approximately of 13% compared to the original 65 W TDP.

More testing is needed (games and workloads) to be worth the 60% more power consumption, from my perspective anyways.
Its just a simple OC, nothing more.
Also much more would be saved if people stuck to 60fps caps which for the majority of games and people would provide as good a experience. The GPU pulling almost 300w e.g. in the starfield run on that video.
Every other model has PBO where you can set your TDP to whatever you want, and MSI has usually provided various 45W/65W/95W eco modes across the last few generations of B-series and X-series boards.That's a 3-week old video without the 11% improvement to gaming that the Windows patches have provided.
AFAIK, the scheduler patches that Microsoft have applied to W11 invalidate launch day reviews entirely if they haven't been updated. You can definitely blame AMD for not timing the launch correctly if these patches have been in the works for a while, but you can also blame Microsoft for failing to get branch-prediction code right for YEARS. The gains to Zen4 are almost as significant and prove that all the work that was put towards Intel for Alder Lake's launch was omitted for AMD. Call it bias, call it favouritism, call it foul-play - I don't care. What matters is that AMD CPUs have been artificially held back by Microsoft for an entire product generation.
- Windows update with 10% uplift
- BIOS update with 10% uplift
Meanwhile most reviews won't change. Kinda feels bad. :D
