New AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation Rumours - AMD's CES Demo was Power-Limited

It's quite unusual for either side to play koi about how good their next gen parts perform.
But if this is true it would be a great ploy for amd. Let Intel think they have nothing to worry about and then hit them hard on release. Let's hope, I expect a few more leaks in the near future once oems start getting their hands on es'
 
Yeah usually the idealised scenario for clocks vs power is a square/power of two relationship, so you need about double the power for around 40% (sqrt(2)=~1.41) clock speed increase, which you can roughly see across most product stacks with multiple TDPs on the same chip or when overclocking, so ideally 30-40% extra power would deliver 14-18% higher clock speeds, but of course there other factors at play that could push that either way a bit.

Showing off the better efficiency of what I think we can assume is about a 60W TDP model I'd guess is obviously much more impressive but of course AMD has no reason not to stick with at least a 90W TDP for their high end parts, obviously for the single chiplet parts at least.
