    IMPORTANT Explaining the AMD Ryzen "Power Reporting Deviation" -metric in HWiNFO

    Here is a complementary post to the OP, I made to Reddit few moments ago. Just to be perfectly clear, since there appears to be some unfounded concerns related to this, especially after the a bit of a popcorn fart of a headline Tom's Hardware pulled yesterday.

    IMPORTANT Explaining the AMD Ryzen "Power Reporting Deviation" -metric in HWiNFO

    The design specific reference value (amps) is not what is important here, but how the actual and the declared values relates to each other. The correct value is determined by the manufacturer and without a cross-reference it is not something the user can determine. 75% is definitely an...

    IMPORTANT Explaining the AMD Ryzen "Power Reporting Deviation" -metric in HWiNFO

    Ryzen CPUs for AM4 platform rely on external, motherboard sourced telemetry to determine their power consumption. The voltage, current and power telemetry is provided to the processor by the motherboard VRM controller through the AMD SVI2 interface. This information is consumed by the processors...
