  5. Max boost for AMD Ryzen Pro­ces­sors is the maxi­mum fre­quen­cy achie­va­ble by a sin­gle core on the pro­ces­sor run­ning a burs­ty sin­gle-threa­ded workload. Max boost will vary based on seve­ral fac­tors, inclu­ding, but not limi­t­ed to: ther­mal pas­te; sys­tem coo­ling; mother­board design and BIOS; the latest AMD chip­set dri­ver; and the latest OS updates. GD-150
  6. Base fre­quen­cy is the appro­xi­ma­te pro­ces­sor clock speed of a typi­cal workload run­ning at the processor’s stan­dard TDP. GD-166.
  7. Though both are often mea­su­red in watts, it is important to distin­gu­ish bet­ween ther­mal and elec­tri­cal watts. Ther­mal wat­ta­ge for pro­ces­sors is con­vey­ed via ther­mal design power (TDP). TDP is a cal­cu­la­ted value that con­veys an appro­pria­te ther­mal solu­ti­on to achie­ve the inten­ded ope­ra­ti­on of a pro­ces­sor. Elec­tri­cal watts are not a varia­ble in the TDP cal­cu­la­ti­on. By design, elec­tri­cal watts can vary from workload to workload and may exceed ther­mal watts. GD-109
