  1. NEW/UPDATE: We just completed an in-depth benchmark and analysis of the Zen 5 efficiency. You can find that here — although it was great in all-core rendering, it is not as good in gaming (and we have adjusted to further reduce the 9700X's place in our lists — just skip Zen 5 for now): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wLXQnZjcjU
    Reminder: The 7800X3D remains more efficient than the 9700X in gaming by a long shot. Higher performance, same power. Also, we got the new 9600X in. It is working where the other one failed, but still has compatibility issues (as the 9700X did) that the 7000 series did not. Messy launch.

  2. There's nothing disappointing to me about Starfield though I know it's fashionable to criticize it. It's a great game with fun combat and great weapons, the fun of building and trying different ships, so many interesting little stories and new adventures to get into even after hundreds of hours, and I appreciate that it was a major launch that worked great on day 1. My 5950x does everything I need fine, so no need for a new CPU yet, but when I do there's a good chance I'll stay with AMD.

  3. Honestly, I greatly appreciate the fact that Gamers Nexus is still calling out (VERY directly) the disappointing (or even missing) improvement of a product, even when the low-hanging fruit would be to continue to stomp on Intel's twitching hulk. I'm seeing echos of Bulldozer/Piledriver (where AMD was 'stuck', and Intel felt no need to 'push', especially post-Intel Core 7*00-series), with the roles reversed.
    Please, AMD, get good. Quickly.
    Qualcomm, Loongson or (simultaneously "heaven forbid" and "please let it happen") VIA (via Zhaoxin) might get a sniff.

  4. At this point I'd rather AMD does away with the AM5 platform and the compatibility. If I need to mess up around to enable all-core workloads, to essentially hack Windows in order for cores to activate properly, to reinstall or buy another copy or Windows so the power config would understand double CCD behaviour, if I should buy new motherboards for new features or buy faster DDR memory, if i have to look at the tarrot cards in order to understand wheather all cores would activate and in which application, and ultimately if the performance gain is this miserable, I'd rather AMD pushes AM6 or whatever, something that would ensure all these double CCD CPUs work properly and actually have some performance advantages compared to AM5. And its OK, we dont necessarily need this AM5 to last 10+ years. If it starts sucking, we dont need it.

  5. I'm glad I haven't upgraded my rig yet, still rocking a AMD 3700x cpu with a 1070ti GPU…I'm wondering if amd was putting all there eggs in the efficiency basket for the epyc server CPUs…I ๐Ÿค”

  6. I just upgraded my R5 3600 to the R7 5700X3D, is it a bad buy should I have gone with 5800X3D? it was much cheaper ๐Ÿฅบ but is it really stagnation if its much more efficiency I think they're pushing efficiency to compete with ARM since ARM is coming to Windows in a big way and to stay relevant

  7. Hmmm, less heat or more fps…….hmmm, well i haven't been able to play many games this summer due to the heat of the summer, it spends most of the day glaring on my room, hence the heat.

    I personally think that the 3d Cache should just stick to the GPUs, it should never be a CPU thing….EVER.

  8. This review reminds me why no CPU or GPU actually tries to be at a reasonable place on the efficiency curve. You want it to perform better than the 7700? Then bring it to the stupid 7700 power draw.

  9. AMD just needs to release the X3D as standards X ranges and everything else as the Non X. This way it actually represents a proper uplift. At this rate no ones gonna buy the current non X variants and would rather wait for the X3D's. Not saying some will buy the current stock, but most of us gamings want some good margins before upgrading.

  10. Quick question Steve. Any chance you could do a separate video on 9700X with PBO optimized? While I do understand that this will go against this video, however I do feel like it will have a significant impact on the performance and it would be interesting to see if AMD actually deliberately "neutered" the 7700X successor.

  11. s the power limit for the 9700X set too conservatively? Other YouTubers have shown that performance improves significantly after enabling PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive)

  12. Hey guys, almost every video I get recommended by YouTube is negative criticism. Are there reviews you guys do of solid company's in the industry putting out good customer service or quality products? I don't see a Playlist that focuses on quality, either, so I don't know where to look.
