In short the 11% uplift we saw on average for the 9700X should be 7%. Similar scaling will apply to the 7700X.

[DanAmurskiy]

So zen 5 release boosted my gaming perfomance by 10% and I don't even need to purchase it. Trully an AMD moment.

[gustavoalmeida]

This calls for a new round of 14900K vs 7800X3D.

[sapphyrus]

I knew we downloaded RAM but now we can download CPU? What a time to be alive!

[Teckman]

I love that this started out with AMD claiming that Windows was massively holding back their new chips, everyone went "Yeah, sure." And apparently it was true? Forget about downloading more RAM, this is downloading more CPUs.

[dex]

Wow. This makes the 7800X3D and the older 5800X3D even more attractive. Are we testing those with 24H2 next?

[lebigmac]

This is probably the most WTF-ing benchmark video I've ever seen.

[xezee]

So after two years of buying 7700X, I'm getting a free upgrade. Neat.

[baronvonschnellenstein]

Thanks for putting an insane amount of time and testing effort, diving down all the rabbit holes AMD has put down with this Ryzen 9 release! 🍻
... Back to you, Steve!

[zev]

When "downloading more performance" becomes real..

[adilazimdegilx]

I'm sorry Steve but you know what we need to see next. A final showdown between 5800x3D - 7800x3D - 9700x - 14900k on 24H2 update.
Only then we can let you go until next gen arrives.

[paulshardware]

Brilliant work as always Steve, thanks for everything you do 🙏

[paulocampino]

We need Win 10 22H2 vs Win 11 24H2 and some Zen3 staples thrown in the mix like 5600 and 5800x3d. Can't wait 😁

[Rintero_Pryde]

Shenanigans regarding Zen 4 vs 5 aside, what a W for gamers all-around. Thanks for the hard work and the video. The data was very interesting.

[mraltoid]

So, AMD was fighting Intel with Weighted Cloths all this time, and now they pull a "Rock Lee/Goku" move and take off the weights?

[SteelTumbleweed]

Oh we're definitely going to need tests on Intel, Zen 3, Windows 10 and even older CPUs now.

[a.arredondo]

Oh wow just a few weeks after the Windows 10 vs Windows 11 video. I hope you revisit that video some time in the future Steve. Impressive work here as always!

[framedthunder]

The fact AMD beat intel Even with not 100% OS optimization is insane

[scarletspidernz]

TLDW, if only Microsoft spent more time actually improving Windows rather than redesigning the UI every 5-7yrs

[mbmsk]

How is this even possible, z4 has gained in some cases an entire generation worth of performance boost with this update
