You can’t do that with Strix or LNL eitherAlso, for a good share of enthusiasts, Apple silicon is completely irrelevant. If you can't buy the chip, put it on a board and combine it with a high-end graphics card, then it might just as well not exist.
You'd be better off picking up discounted 7000 series.Why would this be a skip gen, unless you already had a 7000 series ?
I dunno better power efficiency, better performance sku vs sku.... will depend on the discounts you get on a 7k.You'd be better off picking up discounted
Performance gains are non-existent. lolI dunno better power efficiency, better performance sku vs sku.... will depend on the discounts you get on a 7k.
Gimme the lotto numbers lolSo my final guess before embargo drops is that this is a skip generation for most people, unless you're doing something FP-intensive (CPU rendering for some reason?). Pretty meh overall.
TDP (PPT) was reduced. So you're getting the same performance at a lower power level. If you increase the power level to the same settings as 7000 series you will see gains. Is it enough to justify the price difference? Only each user can answer that.Performance gains are non-existent. lol
Nah, meh is overselling it.Gimme the lotto numbers lol
Gaming performance is the same or even slower than Zen 4 LOL
Tech power up has their review up https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-9700x/Any English-language written reviews out yet or is everything YouTube videos now?
Oh, it gets so much worse than that when you take the increase in core area into account.So basically it looks ok compared to previous gen X-SKUs, because ist more efficient. But if you compare it to real predecessors, it's complete garbage. Like 10% more efficient, 15% faster in Applications and barely faster in Gaming.
Zen 6 likely will, Zen 7 is a bit of an unknown given that it's developed by a different team.Turns out it really is a "bulldozer moment" somewhat.
Years of expectation, huge changes to the architecture, negative IPC slower than previous gen, only performs well under specific right circumstances (at least power is good), gives time to the competition to breath and strike back with calm.
Make me fear that Zen 6 and Zen 7 will be Piledrivers and Steamrollers.
