That official slide is sus as hell for alleging that ~1.35V is
stock all-core Vcore for Ryzen 5000. There is not
a single instance of any 5600X/5900X/5950X that pulls more than even 1.25V in any respectable
all-core workload, under
stock conditions. One of the defining characteristics of Ryzen 5000 across the board is its revised boost algorithm that keeps Vcore low during all-core work, which is where those relatively amazing temps came from, compared to their Ryzen 3000 counterparts.
Unfortunately AGESA now imposes crippling limits on whatever it deems a power virus, so P95 is no longer a useful tool to test the chip's fitness limit and go off that. If you try that Vcore will be uselessly down at 1.0V. But I can tell you with certainty, that it isn't 1.35V.
Yes, stories of Ryzen 5000 degrading are far rarer than stories of Ryzen 3000 degrading, whatever that reason people believe. But the principles haven't changed. It's never been a matter of voltage, it's a matter of
current combined with
temps. Assuming you set the same OC, 4.6 @ 1.35V on a 5900X, for example:
- If you're only ever gaming on your computer, you will probably never see any ill effects during your ownership, because you will probably only be loading ~2 cores (stock Vcore for that would already be higher at ~1.35-1.45V due to only 2 core load). Ballpark 80-100W at most.
- If you're crunching/folding/rendering/chasing Cinebench scores for hours upon end every day, don't expect the chip to continue like that. Doubly so if you can't keep your temps under 75-80C.
Want to make sure your CPU will last? Don't run an all-core exceeding stock all-core Vcore, while loading it with all-core workloads frequently every day, at temps exceeding 75-80C.
There's a reason why the boost algorithm works the way it does.
- More cores? Vcore goes down.
- "Heavier" load (ie. heavier instructions, AVX)? Vcore goes down.
- Temps are higher? Vcore goes down.
When deciding on an all-core OC, your thinking should work the same way.
