AMD Ryzen 9000 Zen 5 CPUs Set for Power Boost, AGESA Update Increasing TDP up to 105W

Early testing of my 9700X under prime 95 blend for over an hour, HWiNFO shows average power draw of 118w & this is with AVX512 disabled.
Using 3.06 bios for my board (AGESA 1.2.0.0)
Don't know why a new AGESA is needed when my chip has a TDP of 88W but its already peaking up to 120w under severe stress...
Actually 9700X launched with 65W TDP (88W PPT) and if this new AGESA is true it will get to 105W TDP (125W PPT).

If you saw 118W (PPT?) then you must have PBO on?
 
The upcoming AGESA update is certainly intriguing. It will be interesting to observe its effects on both performance and power efficiency.
