Intend this time (first time) to move off Intel to AMD
Use is for video editing / rendering inc 4k at 100fps on Davinci.

Unsure whether to go for AMD 9900X or 7900X
Performance seems very similar with 9900 only 6% better
The 9900X being Zen 5 Granite Ridge is newer technology and does have 50W lower TDP

Same cache, cores, threads etc.


The 9900X costs about 30% more, what is the view - jump in and get 9900X as power saving will pay for the extra cost in 2-3yrs, and getting later technology chip

Get a 7950X and sell the game codes so its around the same price as a 9900X but has 4 extra cores. Run it at ECO 105W and it would probably use less power than the 9900X too.

Even though 7950 is about £50 more you think it a better value for money CPU ?
