Very funny joke, haha

Here's some 160W results (basically runs at full clocks that are permissible with x3d limits)

Won't go any higher, sadly. Thanks Lisa et al for blocking proper OC, garrrr.

Interesting thing to me is the slope of that trend combined with the low temps. Seems like there might be more left in the tank for PBO past 230 W

I am jealous. If I enable PBO Windows stops booting, even if i touch no other settings.

Changing anything except curve optimizer is futile.
I wonder about those temps as well. So no more need to run at 95C?
AMD said the chips run cooler. Zen 4 will run cooler if you tweak it. Enabling CO alone dropped my chip 10 degrees with a slight performance uplift.
woooahh, 8000 MT/s what black magic is this :D
(edit its not going be 2:1 is it i.e. fabric at 4000 mhz, LOL)
Zen 4 can do it as well, you just need a recent BIOS. Many on OCN have achieved it. If I had the money to burn I would pick up a better kit that could handle 8000, because mine only does DDR5-6200. Alas I currently have other priorities.

Looks like 9950X does not have any sweet spot for perf/watt. It keeps gobbling up any additional Watts given and turns it into perf.

For 7950X, IIRC there was a sweet spot around 105/120W TDP where you got almost as much perf as when running it at 170W.

Another sloppy piece! Why can't I get a respectable piece that has my name on it???

I do NOT possess Zen 5. If I did, benchmarks would be leaking left and right, up and down, sideways and who knows from where else! :D
But you’re a one-step-away proxy for 9950X, right? With possibility to somewhat direct what that next step evaluates?

Not the same as having it in your own possession, I know. But just one step away, i.e. Puppet Master. Or am I misinterpreting it?

Damn wccftech, making article about this, claiming the perf uplift is 27 percent compared to 7950x, when its only on of the 3 tests and other 2 are 20 percent. Cant even report straightforward info properly.

I want to see vray performance, nobody serious with rendering is using blender cpu render.

Hassan enjoys stirring the shat in the comments section. Tomorrow there'll be a leak that purposely looks quite terrible for Zen 5. Its a twisted place...lol.

That's the sad state of tech journalism today... Everything is sensationalized and WTFtech led the way in the 2010s.
a very large custom cooling rig with a optimus signature v3 block together with a MO-RA3 radiator
That explains the really good temps, then. There's a bunch of people on Xitter who are reacting to the WTFtech/Videocardz articles about the info you shared, but those articles don't do a good job of clarifying why the temps are so good. It's leading people to incorrectly believe that Zen 5 is super easy to cool and/or super power efficient.

For example, from the Videocardz article, just no mention of cooling method whatsoever.

Same with WTFtech:

So often authors just steal whatever info is eye-catching for their article but fail to represent the source faithfully because they don't bother reading the rest of the thread... SMDH.

Unbelievable is right.
