ECO-MODE – LOWER-POWER OPERATION FOR 3000-SERIES CPUS
AMD Ryzen Master 2.6 Reference Guide | November 2020 42
• Eco-Mode is a new feature for 3000-Series CPUs, subject to motherboard support.
• Applying Eco-Mode lowers the processor’s power consumption from default stock to AMD’s
lower, standard AM4 infrastructure power level (TDP).
‒ 105W and 95W TDP models shift to 65W
‒ 65W TDP models shift to 45W
• The processor continues to manage core voltage and frequency automatically to the reduced
power levels - expect frequencies may be lower
• PBO, AOC and Manual overclocking are not supported when in Eco-Mode
• Expect to see lower peak frequencies from the cores under heavy multi-threaded workloads,
though at lower power consumption.
• Eco-Mode may be useful when trading off Ryzen processor power for more graphics card power
at the system level.
• Exit Eco-Mode by selecting and Applying any other control mode.
• After Eco-Mode is Applied, the standard PPT, TDC and EDC settings for
the AMD AM4 65W power infrastructure are in use.
