CPUs are running at their default idle speeds most of the time. This can cause problems because it wastes energy. Running at 30W means you’re spending around $5 a year just on power costs, even when the system is off. It doesn’t damage the hardware, but if it starts up, performance will be severely reduced.

Oh, you're wondering if 30W idle is that much? It's actually twice the power consumption of a comparable CPU when it's only using one core at full capacity.

Sure thing! I saved some money by choosing the 7500f instead of the MSI B850 Tomahawk. I was thinking about upgrading later to something like a 7800x3d or Zen6, but it seems like Zen6 isn't an option right now.

Zen 6 could be on AM5, there's no reason it couldn't other than to sell more motherboards and anger the PC enthusiasts

I’m confident Zen 6 should work on the AM5 chipset, yet I’m equally certain this system could encounter some issues.
