1.15V isn't that high. Most CPUs may idle at ~0.9V but when running full power, they throttle up much higher. Overclocking the modern Ryzen 7000 series seems to top out at ~1.2V. If this giant wafer isn't on the absolute latest process, that voltage is going to go up. So, 1.15V seems very reasonable to me.
