MSI has introduced a new enhancement for AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X processors on its AM5 motherboards. A new 105W TDP profile will appear in the BIOS settings, which will increase the performance of 65W processors at the cost of increased consumption. This was reported by TechRadar.
This feature is available in MSI’s new AGESA 1.2.0.1 BIOS. These processors typically consume 65W, so increasing the power consumption to 105W means a promising boost in performance and productivity.
User Kuroberu on X first noticed this and noticed that in the new 105W mode, the Ryzen 9700X achieves a multi-core score of 23,153 in Cinebench R23. In the standard 65W configuration, it scores 20,409 points.
Received new BIOS from MSI, with a new option "TDP to 105W" to increase TDP of Ryzen 9700X/9600X from 65W to 105W.

Most likely, this mode is disabled by default. Considering that the official specifications for these processors indicate a TDP of 65 W, this value should certainly remain by default, and whether to enable the 105 W mode is up to the user.
Microsoft is also preparing improvements for Ryzen processors. In the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 update, Ryzen processors based on Zen 3, Zen 4, and Zen 5 architectures will receive up to 13% performance improvement.
