Kudos to the positive Call Out for Daniel Owen. He really made it clear to me how little efficiency gain there was on these by taking the lead on the 65W comparisons. With those 65W comparisons, and the street prices of the 7700 non x, as well as the 7600 non x and 7500f, AMD has managed a massive marketing fail. The price to performance and even performance per watt of the Zen 5(%) is abysmal. No other word to describe it, and that's without even the setup dramas many channels had.

"haha power efficiency means nothing its not 30+% more performance so trash cards hahaha" Now what are they saying when 9000 series has literally zero performance uplift to 7000 series? "well its 40% more power efficient so these cpus are actually amazing you just dont understand" If I can give you advice. Don't try to ever find logic or understand fanboys and brand loyalty in tech. It simply has no logic and the people who are hard loyal to one brand are the most brainless two faced people you will ever speak to. I was intel cpu for years but the 7800x3d is absolutely insane so i swapped to that. I have been nivida for years and I have looked at amd and even intel but the cards are just trash so I have stuck on nivida. I have no brand loyalty I just want the best gaming experience so I will swap as needed. Would be nice if everyone followed this because not only is it better for your self it also makes a more healthy market where companies can't release trash and get away with it because of "loyal customers" who will buy it regardless of how bad it is. 9000 series is literally just AMD trying to sell you an undervolted 7000 series simple as lol.

That's the simplest explanation for the gaming flop of Zen 5, and of the inconsistent results were some games randomly show a great improvement.

Intel having the majority of the market for so long only allows them to do things that are worse for their customers and get away with it.

@konga38229 күн бұрын
Tom's Hardware is one of the outlets that found a bigger than typical gain for Zen 5 in games, and also a bigger than typical gain for PBO. The biggest factor that people are missing with that site's reviews is that they test with stock memory frequencies only for non-PBO results, and they only enable EXPO for their PBO results. This means the Zen 4 processors use DDR5-5200 and the Zen 5 processors use DDR5-5600, both with JEDEC timings, and then the PBO results used DDR5-6000 with EXPO timings. Steve has shown before that Ryzen chips tend to scale well with memory speed, so the boost to memory speed between architectures is pulling some of the weight in that review, while someone who tests with the same memory speed across all chips will eliminate that difference.

@@w7bUxhwRYUo8Lv Using EXPO or XMP officially voids your warranty (though unofficially they will never ask), so Tom's Hardware and some other reviewers such as Anandtech stick to the max officially supported speed profiles, and tom's only uses EXPO for PBO or OC results. This info is hidden in their test system table that most readers won't look at, so a lot of people get the wrong idea looking at their benchmarks. This maybe could've been mitigated if they showed the OC/PBO results for the Ryzen 7000 parts too, but they only showed them for the new 9000 parts which is extra misleading and not apples to apples at all.

With all the recent Intel woes, lets hope that they can deliver something compelling with Arrow Lake when it drops.

I tend to go for the chip that is the best all around processor for all workloads. 5 years ago when I built my system, that was the 3900x (3950x wasn't out yet and it was too expensive anyway). Now, when I need to upgrade my system, it looks like Intel will probably take that spot with the 285k or 265k.

Arrow lake seems promising so far, TSMC 3nm and Intels new 20A node will be a massive improvement over their current node. Mainly power consumption should be a lot better. Single threaded performance are rumored to be 3% and multi threaded performance 14% better. And Intel have said they will copy 3d v cache as well, which is a good thing.

Yes, these ARE meant to be gaming chips, actually. And no, they are making the wrong decision that could immensely harm their company long term, especially once they lose the AMD cult like Intel has largely lost theirs - through stagnation - and lose market share. If it's even a "decision" and not a simple failure to achieve performance targets, which it most likely is. You decide which one is worse.

I think that the software development oriented performance doesn't really make that much of a difference for people targeting the price range of the 9700X and 9600X. I've been running a 5700X for quite a while, and I honestly have no reason to complain. Compile times don't really bother me, the performance is good enough to work on Android studios while having multiple apps and background tasks running. If anything I feel more compelled to use my money to buy a 4070Ti Super, or see what NVIDIA cooks up for the RTX5070. If you are in a point where you are working on large enough projects that a 5700X or even 7700X can't handle, you are probably making enough money to justify investing on a 9950X. This last 2 generations have proven to me that unless your focus is gaming, you don't need to keep upgrading CPUs every 4/5 years

To be fair, the benchmarks most people were pointing to was Phoronix (and maybe Wendell). Phoronix does Linux benchmarks, and yeah there are a lot of server workloads in those tests, because that is obviously a use case linux dominates in. But the benchmarks are the usual "evaluation performance in linux" set of benchmarks, not specifically targeting server-only benchmarks. Similar with Wendel, he had a bit more focus on workstation stuff as well. Which I think is totally reasonable to test zen5 for, though it will be more interesting with the higher core count parts, as the Ryzen5/7s aren't really what you're looking for for that sort of thing.

With the inclusion of full AVX512 in the chiplets, it is now quite obvious, that AMD is tuning the chiplets for the enterprise/server market (Epyc line), where density and power efficiency are increasingly more important. Power-perf scaling is not great beyond a certain point and the desktop parts quickly hit a ceiling (desktop Intel seems to scale better with more power). Unfortunately, dedicated desktops are becoming a niche market with low margins, and AMD is right to make these trade-offs (sacrifices) from the economic PoV. As a company, they live off their high margin high volume products.

I cannot fathom them dropping a 9700 or 9600 model, because they already sent these out with 65W TDP. It will be interesting to see how their naming plays out now that they've released a product that essentially invalidated their entire Non-X lineup.

Thy could also go back to how they named the 8-core chips with zen2, i.e. release a 9800X as a higher TDP variant. Though I kinda doubt it, they probably just going to give the 9800X3D a bit more TDP, so that they can establish the X3D variants as the enthusiast class gaming king CPU, while the 9700X is simply the efficient desktop SKU as the non-Xes used to be. And we all know more Xes sell better.

I needed to replace my cpu with one that has a igpu, and what I'm seeing from Zen 5 inclusing both Steves' retesting has convinced me to just pick up a discounted Zen 4. Thanks for all the testing Steves

The 1080 was incredible. Very disappointed with the new GPUs

OK, so straight in at the 5:00, I know you're trying to do apples to apples on wattage specs, agree totally on 7700 vs 9700X stock, but why 9700X Max PBO against stock 7700X?

First of all, Thanks for the review and the analysis! I don't think these new chips are for anyone who has a new CPU from 18 months ago, or 1 generation old. The way I see it is these chips have great value if you have not upgraded your PC for about 4-6 years minimum, for example someone like me who has a 3800x. I think going from that to a 9700x would be a big deal, especially if I am doing a SFF build, where the lesser amount of heat being output is taken into consideration. I know it's the norm to compare new generation CPU to ones of the previous generation, but I have not yet seen a tech channel do comparisons going all the way back to gen 1 Ryzen. I think for someone like me, that information would be very beneficial, being 3+ generations behind.

Well said!!! I do think that comparing new gen to previous gen is still needed, I do agree with you that it would be great to see the 9600x and 9700x would be a great option to upgrade to if you're using a R5 1600x all the way up to a R5 7700 and everything in between. I myself have a 2700x and a 5600x and would definitely buy a 9700x for a new platform build.
@emsi320028 күн бұрын
I'm not so sure. Even if you haven't upgraded in 6 years and are considering 9700x, then it's much better to buy 7700, which is only 3% slower, has the same TDP, same platform (AM5), but is 20% cheaper.

29:51 just like the rest 99% of PC Hardware reviewers on this platform. Edit: like literally, what I meant by this comment was that you can't find any channels on KZbin that are primarily focused on those types of workloads, but you can find countless other channels that are focused on gaming related benchmarks. I don't even mean server or AI workloads, I mean even productivity workloads.

The problem with the 9700x is that it costs 360$ instead of 270-280$.

If these processors were actually really good compared to the previous gen, AMD wouldn't lie in the slides.

Thanks Steve! I'd like to have seen the parts running at 105w TDP (configured in BIOS) to match the old parts and see where they land performance wise rather than 65w.

Overall on the internet, I'm still predominantly seeing praise for Zen 5 for its efficiency and misleading claims about how they're actually great for gaming if you just up the power draw some more. AMD has really hoodwinked the audience and even many review outlets. Gonna take a good while before the truth can correct this wide-scale misinformation.
