Yes it's specifically marketed as a feature, so it's fine to use. However...
The argument is "its because PBO makes the CPU go over its TDP" its the only argument Gamers Nexus could come up with because its the only one that's valid.
Yes, and it is valid. The CPU has a defined TDP and PBO specifically ignores it. That's fine, but it's also an overclock because of that, and should be considered in the same category IMO. There's a reason it has a 105 W TDP and not a 150 W TDP.
My GPU has a 150 watt TDP, at its rated clock speed of about 1500Mhz that's probably right, however, without doing anything to it, just putting it in the computer and running it from its drivers it actually runs at 1900Mhz, and its not using 150 Watts, more like 200 Watts, it does this because the MSI cooler can handle it.
Every reviewer knows this, they have never said anything about it, but now that AMD are carrying that same technology forward to their CPU's its suddenly an issue.
BTW, i'm not entirely sure about coffeelake, but for-sure Skylake-X with its precision boost also goes over TDP, way over TDP, again, no one cares.
Predictably now that AMD are following industry trend the whole debate is "we shouldn't allow AMD to do this" well what if AMD like Intel and nVidia didn't give you the option to switch it off? its things like this where AMD should have foreseen this cynicism and i just want to shake them violently to make the wake up to it.
