AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Processor Spotted Running on MSI MAG B650 Motherboard at 1.5 Volts

AMD is slowly gearing up to launch the latest 7000 series Ryzen processors codenamed "Raphael." Thanks to the famous hardware leaker @9550pro on Twitter, we have evidence of B650 motherboards for the next-generation hardware. According to the image posted by the leaker, it appears like AMD's Ryzen 7000 series Raphael processor is running on MSI's MAG B650 motherboard at a very high voltage of 1.5 Volts VCore. While we don't know the exact SKU running here, we see a note referring to it as an Engineering Sample, meaning that this is not a final product. It is expected to see the new AM5 platform make a debut alongside DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 technology, so we have to wonder what the B650 chipset can support.

Just wondering now that why they are 7k series, why not 6k?:confused:

AMD used it for Mobile, don't wanna mix it up with a completely new series of processors, btw nice Lenne avatar. :toast:

For all we know, this might be just the voltage of single core load. Zen3 is set for 1.5v already in those scenarios.

Hm, weird.. though Intel has weird mobile naming scheme as well.
btw nice Lenne avatar.
And thanks. I hated X-2 back then but these days I fucking love it. <3

imagine cleaning thermal paste inbetween those ridges on IHS

not sure how V is relevant, with no "load" voltage, or any info on amps...

All you need is some compressed air... :fear:

1.5v, nice. More power = more heat!

At 200 bar, otherwise it won't work.

As Pumper already mentioned, that's not how this works. You need to know the workload (i.e. the current being used) in order to know the power. Zen 3 runs 1.5 V stock for light single core loads but reduces it as the intensity of the load increases (either on a single core or as more cores are utilized.)

What you are saying is true. On the other hand, you see how much intel likes power. Somehow I would not be surprises to see that amd is gonna be more powerhungry than Zen 3.

it isnt, these posts quickly reveal whom perhaps needs to touch up on there high school knowledge

I've always thought it sounded weird when a topic has "spotted" in it for things like this. Was someone out on a walk and just happened to look behind the right bush and saw this processor clamping itself on a board and flashing you it's voltage?

Spotted....it doesn't sound right. Makes me think they spotted something in the wild, like the elusive Big Foot. I half expected to see out of focus pictures in the story, too. Guess I'm just weird, myself.

I guess a leak is a leak. Always entertaining to see what's coming down the bend.

FYI, my 2600X even @95W power limit, it boosts to 4,25GHz@1,5V when light threaded load occurs. That is a well known Zen clock/voltage/ampere/temp combo.

That’s unusual. Not X670 but a B650 for an ES ?

By the way 1.5+ V is not something I’m happy about.

I certainly wouldn't be, my ADL can do 5ghz at only 1.25.

well, I have 2 Zen 3 (5800X and 5900X) and they are not even reaching 1.5 V.
It is 1.485/1.495 at best.
In the leak the CPU is above 1.5 V, which is something unexpected considering the better node

1.5v is the current 1core turo for AMD. I am not surprised it is the same considering the node didnt shrink.

1.5v is routine on my 5900.. not a big deal really. On my Strix -F voltage regulation is quite sloppy compared to my XE, and it routinely saw 1.525-1.535v.. still not a problem. I am pretty sure my old 3600XT was getting up to 1.55v.

That's already expected from previous leaks. Everything points at new power tiers including 170W for at least the top end (7950x?)

I guess the SMD's are moved outside of the lid in order to give them better cooling. Another reason could be to make more room under the lid for a third (fourth?) chiplet, or a larger IO with full graphics.
Does anyone know?

I remember Athlon XPs running at 1.5
