Now the 170 Watt is interesting as it could suggest that the previous rumours about it being 16 cores be real which is up from the 5950x tdp of 105 Watts.

Raphael ?
- up to 16 Cores
- up to 170 W
- 5 nm

Hopefully all GPUs next gen have this as DP really needs the bandwidth increase for next generation of resolution and framerate support

Steam Deck - GOOD NEWS! RDNA2 8CU @ 1.6ghz Only Needs 10 Watts! Let's Talk About TDP!

What it should mean is that you can use about 5-6 watts of Zen 2 while being able to fully utilize the GPU at it's full 1.6TF potential. But if a game really starts taxing the CPU, that's when the GPU will go down. But most games will be GPU bound so it's unlikely the CPU will be taxed very hard until the next gen games really gets going.
