How often do you really need all cores to run at maximum power? If you play older games then they can use only few cores, and for this type of workload 65W TDP is more than enough. And you can see those 5,4-5,5GHz frequencies on few cores. This is super easy to cool. Compare to my previous i7-7700k I decrease my fan curve by 20%. PC is very silent.

Random black screen restarts happen because of light load instability imo.

Yup after playing around with CO on my 5950x for the last year, low load is almost always what shows instability for at least this gen of chip. I could game at -30 CO and +75mhz offset ALL DAY, but it'll crash within an hour of browsing the internet. At -30 CO and +50 offset, its rock solid.

[@Scarlet_Soul]

@@kyoudaiken My experience trying out Ryzen master is that it's overly optimistic. If all cores are 100% stable with a -30 offset Ryzen master will try to go beyond. Whilst it may pass it's own tests you have a very high chance that it'll just turn off in other stress tests/games. My 5900x was a brilliant undervolter. 200+ MHz and -30 offset all core in PBO, with a further -0.075v offset in the base mbo overclocking menu. Rick solid stable, scores over base pbo and runs very cool (I'm a silence freak so want fans going as slow as possible)

[@longjohn526]

The temperatures between 7000 series and 9000 series are not directly comparable because they moved the temperature sensor locations. All the boost algorithms have been adjusted for a new temperature curve. People obsess with temperature but what really matters is the Wattage which is the true test of how much energy is being used and the efficiency of the device. 100Watts @ 70C = 100 Watts @ 90C Yes temperature (and voltage) is still import because if either is too high it can cause electromigration (Intel's current problem) and chip degradation but that has been accounted for in the new temperature curves

@@blainehock754 Also consider that for multi thread workloads this new CPUs do not seem to offer a real improvement over intel's 13th and 14th gens (due to the core count disadvantage). For instance if I lock my 12600k at 90W (and stock voltage) I get 16'211pt in R23 which is already quite close to the 16'900pt of the 9600x, thus 13th and 14th gen are gonna be more efficient at that TDP. Besides all the recent issues with intel cpus, I believe their bad reputation for efficiency is only Intel's fault, the architecture is actually decent, but they decided to push it to the brink of catching fire just for winning benchmarks, what a shame (and massife f***up).

I feel like amd expects users to have PBO enabled. But its still good to test both since one is technically overclocking. Also if you want to mess with curve optimizer again.

Advertising similiar/better performance at a significant power draw reduction would've probably went over pretty damn well with a lot of the PC space. But saying "Hey we've got 16% IPC improvement, it's better in games, AND it's more power efficient" is where they put themself in a position to catch super-flak. I'm hoping that the 9950X is going to be a beast especially with PBO and power uncapped. Also, they're priced too damn high, period. The gains you see in mulit-threaded workloads with an OC & power being uncapped are impressive, it's just a shame it doesn't translate to gaming performance in most games hardly at all. Edit: What the trash are those RAM sticks, CL42 5600? Holy garbage. lol Yeah I know, 1.1V, but that kit belongs in the garbage imo. Why are we testing with that, serious question, at least get a CL30 kit if you're gonna run 5200-5600. In RAM intensive games, benchmarks and CPU tasks, that is a gigantic difference, especially given the fact that that kit you're using also has an insane TRFC of over 700. Second Edit: Based on your comments on the "few days later" sounds like the CPU's memory controller is a POS.

it's easy to think AMD laid en Egg....... I don't think they did though..... Lets wait and see what the 9000 series 16 core parts look like....... Intel ............................

[@efovex]

Didn't they move the core thermal sensors to a cooler spot? That was the gist of their "magic trick" to make 9000 series run cooler than 7000 series, from what I heard. Hence why default Tjmax is also lower.

Bro.. this cpu is for low consumption.. google and other companies will love them

[@AndreiRebegea]

Great video idea! Very good and relvant tests. I loved the idea to sort the chart big the price of the cpu

[@Riyozsu]

That cyberpunk result is very sus. Must be a game optimization issue. Final fantasy also heavily favours Intel.

[@_..D]

Nah, amd just sux

[@SirSomnolent]

It's had a lot of focus on performance and refactoring done since the rather embarrassing launch. Could just be super multi thread optimized and not really Intel biased.

[@mycosys]

@@_..D line might have been better to save for a time intel CPUs didnt suck power so hard they burn - jus saying. You'll get your time to bask in the glow of your favourite exploitative megacorp someday

Hey there... I am still only on AM4 with a Ryzen 9 3900X with 2x32GB ram (tried 4x32GB but behaved weird)... Waiting on the test results on the new AM4 cpu's... I do not experiment with overclocking, because i want a rock solid system that just works... Keep up your great work, because it is very interesting... The best part is the tongue twisters that happens sometimes, because it happens for all of us...

Many people don’t realize that zen 5 isn’t nearly as efficient as it seems. Compare 9700x to 7700. Both 65w tdp parts that draw ~88w under load. Very close performance. AMD tricked everyone with the name on this thing, now everyone thinks zen 5 is crazy efficient.

I bet we wind up with XT CPUs to fill in the void left by the X versions.
