AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs Reportedly Run Hot, Ryzen 9 7950X Hits Up To 95C Thermal Threshold at 230W, Ryzen 5 7600X Up To 90C at 120W

As usual, take it with a grain of salt until reviews come out. Supposedly, it is due to the density of the chips is the reason why it's so hard to cool.

Going for smaller and more advanced nodes has its perks, but also its cons.

One of AMD's slides talked about density and compared Zen4 to Alder Lake (click to open a bigger version):

With both Alder Lake and Zen4 using roughly the same power, but one being 50% smaller, heat density will be much higher and, therefore, run hotter.
