Power, Temperature, and Frequency of Ryzen 5 7600
On this page, we are going to investigate the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 power draw, temperature, and frequency. This is a stress test, which means we are pushing each CPU to its maximum potential in all-core load in Cinebench R23 multi-core test for 10 minutes.
Power
We use HWiNFO64 sensor data to record the results. We report on the sensor data for “Package Power” in Wattage.
The new AMD Ryzen 5 7600 has a TDP of 65W, while the Ryzen 5 7600X has a TDP of 105W. We can see these major TDP differences in the CPUs play out. AMD’s goal was to provide a lower TDP part in the “Non-X” CPUs, and they succeeded. The new Ryzen 5 7600 only consumed 90.1W package power, while the Ryzen 5 7600X consumes 116.6W. That is a 23% reduction in power usage, yet only a 5-7% reduction in performance at most.
Enabling PBO on the Ryzen 5 7600 allows the TDP to increase, and what we find is that it adds about 12W more to the power, but still keeps the overall power of the CPU under the Ryzen 5 7600X by a good margin.
Temperature
We use HWiNFO64 sensor data to record the results. We report on the sensor data for “Tcidle” in Celsius.
We know that there is a big power difference between the CPUs, and we also see this represented in the temperatures. The Ryzen 5 7600X tops out at 88.6c, remember this CPU utilizes one CCD, and that concentrates heat quite a bit. The Ryzen 5 7600 only maxes out at 71.8c, which is a huge temperature difference. This means you do not need excessive cooling. Also remember, the Ryzen 5 7600 comes with a cooler that works well for its temperature range. Enabling PBO does increase temperature, as it increases power, but it still runs cooler than the 7600X.
CPU Frequency
We use HWiNFO64 sensor data to record the results. We report on the sensor data for frequency in MHz. The left screenshot is the Ryzen 5 7600 at default, and the right screenshot is the Ryzen 5 7600 with PBO enabled.
From this, we can see that the Ryzen 5 7600 at default operates at 4.875GHz at default on an all-core full-load. Remember, the CPU boost frequency can boost up to 5.1GHz technically, but on all-core load, this is as high as it will go when all cores are being used.
When we enable PBO (in the right screenshot) we now see that it can boost up to 4.950GHz on all-core full-load. That is a small 75MHz frequency bump from enabling PBO when all cores are used. This explains why we did not see a big bump in performance, enabling PBO, even with PBO enabled th frequency isn’t boosting by a large degree.
For comparison, our Ryzen 5 7600X was boosting to 5.225GHz on an all-core full-load in this test. That means the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 has about a 350MHz difference compared to the Ryzen 5 7600X on an all-core full-load.
