The test was conducted on an old version of windows and locked tdp at 65 watts, because of this the performance of the ryzen processor may be lower, see my new tests for more accurate data!!!

All that bad press about Intel made me regreat buyng my 13700k on the beginning of the last year... now, one and half year later i'm getting happier with my purchase. LOL.

[selohcin]

Me: "Hi, I need to buy a cooler for my new CPU."
Store Employee: "Okay. Do you know how much power it uses?"
Me: "Exactly 88 watts."

If you are primarily Gaming Ryzen with x3D is only way to go.. None of 9000 Series without x3d are worth getting..

[AlkoholOgerLeonElektronik]

Why was this new CPU even made. There's nothing that can be considered a "real generational improvement"...

[TalonsTech]

O wow. Expected AMD to improve their results after 2 years. I guess Arrow Lake is gonna clean sweep it.

[Jakiyyyyy]

Disappointing results. Wait for 9800X3D vs 7800X3D. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[shadowlemon]

Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X are both insanely disappointing. They should've upped the clocks, because they probably can, instead of focusing on efficiency.

[akkyura]

i dont understand the hate against intel. Its literally better

[hetasaputra]

I don't get it. They all say AMDs are perfect for gaming. Yet here we are....dollar to dollar...the 9600X got beaten on every games....

[animeland]

😮Wtf 14600K is winning and efficient also

[GamingFver]

Amd now playing like intel now, they will see the same fate

[archvile]

I think you need to redo this test, if there is a malfunction with MSI afterburner not showcasing the core power for Ryzen section then we can't know this comparison as it's impossible for all those games for the consumption to be all at 88. Looking forward to another test or also with 9700x

[arch.__t]

the issue actually is not affecting i5 series... still affordable

[Brave_Chaotic]

Some people have noticed the power draw locked to 88W under any varying load, which questions whether the bios is allowing the proper power to the CPU? Might explain the poor launch performance considering AMD was planning on raising the TDP to 120W some months back.

[therpp]

could you share the link to the latest video of the 14600k vs 9600x with the tdp change then mate...

[Lookingformorefun]

If you want to play games just buy i5. That's a fact.

[JohnWick-]

you might be the last real benchmarker in Youtube, was very disappointed to see Linus use fake benchmarks in his latest video, probably got paid a shit-ton by AMD

[jonhattanrai]

Almost all CPUs from last year and this one are pretty disappointing. 😅 I think I'll wait another year to get a new computer

[playbackstorage]

It would be perfect, if you will add the average fps/w scale at the end of every test. For example, Starfield 1.1 fps/w for intel and 1.26 fps/w for AMD, 6.6 and 6.7 for CS2, 3.2 and 3.1 for PUBG and so on.
