I know AMD has joined the “fudging the TDP numbers” game but you should still be able to more or less compare TDP across their own products.


Assuming they don't tweak the TDP formula, which they can and have iirc.


For the same node, you aren't cutting power by 40% while increasing clockspeeds. At best, they could be aggressively cutting clockspeeds, but that means lower overall performance.

Marketing seems a more likely reason (and I don't believe it would be the first time either).
