ASUS is NOT the ONLY ONE: Gigabyte – EXPO and SoC Voltages Before & After the BIOS Update

https://hwbusters.com/news/asus-is-not-the-only-one-gigabyte-expo-and-soc-voltages-before-after-the-bios-update/

"With the new BIOS, which claims to limit Vcore_SOC to 1.3V, the screenshot above shows this is not true. The difference is 0.056V, with Vcore_SOC exceeding 1.36V. So I fail to see where the fix is that GBT promises in the F10d changelog. So ASUS is not the only one to “cheat” in Vcore_SOC voltage. If I test more mainboards, I will find several with Vcore_SOC exceeding 1.35V."

What a mess

This is why last week, when Gamernexus posted its rant against Asus and mentioned Gigabyte and AsRock, I replied saying that I hoped they would do another video focusing on these two brands as well. But I guess they've been beaten.

I have to say, tho, that MSI seems to be the only one not affected by this mess (well, and NZXT, but who counts them). I'm actually impressed.

AMD Ryzen 8000 “Granite Ridge” Desktop CPUs To Feature Up To 16 Zen 5 Cores & 170W TDP

As it's a MLID rumour, the homeless man down the street is generally more reliable so take it with a big grain of salt

It wouldn't really be "that" surprising, to be honest. Same core configuration but higher performance is what AMD has been doing since the Zen 2 CPUs, with the only difference that AMD increased the TDP for AM5.
