Performance is ok buy 95c temps even on the 6 core with a 360mm aio is not cool.

They are looking good for gaming but dominate at number crunching.
Still don't think that 7600x is priced right.
Overall happy with my 12600k as it was a very cheap upgrade on DDR4.
VERY interested to see the second gen when I could be looking to upgrade.
AMD still on track for me.

Just solidifying that VCache is future of gaming its just too good.
Awesome if you are doing 3D Rendering though Blender and Vray massive increases

That is by design. The boost is aimed at highest possible amount. If you had a tiny heatsink it would aim for 95 as well.

Bad design then and only because they can't control the temps.

Techpowerup has a bunch of reviews up!
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X Review - Impressive 16-core Powerhouse
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X Review - Creator Might, Priced Right
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X Review - Impressive 16-core Powerhouse
The Ryzen 9 7950X is a monster CPU. When paired with the right workload it will eat even the 12900K for breakfast. As our review shows, the performance uplifts can be massive: +30-50% gen-over-gen is totally possible. What makes things complicated though, is that keeping the beast cool is almost...www.techpowerup.com
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Review - The Best Zen 4 for Gaming
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X Review - Creator Might, Priced Right
The Ryzen 9 7900X is a creator's dream. It offers 12-cores and 24-threads that perform fantastic not only in highly-threaded workloads, but single-threaded performance is also there. Priced at $550 it sits right in the middle between Ryzen 9 7950X and Ryzen 7 7700X.

AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Review - The Best Zen 4 for Gaming
With the Ryzen 7 7700X, AMD is introducing their fastest Zen 4 processor for gamers. In our review we found out that gaming on the 7700X runs better than the 7900X and 7950X, thanks to the single CCD design of the 7700X. Just like on other high-end AM5 CPUs, temperatures are a problem though.
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Review - Affordable Zen 4 for Gaming
Ryzen 5 7600X is the company's most affordable offering for the Zen 4 family. Our review of the 7600X confirms that this new $300 CPU offers huge performance gains over Zen 3, and can even beat the Ryzen 5800X3D in gaming. In applications, the 7600X is faster than the Intel Core i9-11900K.
TechRadar home of the GPU bound benchmarks.
Seriously a 3080. They couldn't afford at least a 3090 !
The 1440 results are full of GPU bound titles.

It trades and wins on some very interesting tests like R20
7600x only issue is its too expensive in my opinion.

That isn't at all what it says and works just like Intel because it boosts as high as can when needed till it hits a thermal limit.

So for high end these are good, bu come at a cost, but for anything below that, in many cases get beat my Intel's mids (12700/12600) - Going by the LInus video.
At least it highlights that I don't really have anything to be miffed about for relative performance
At least for casual gaming and everyday productivity...

They can say anything is by design. I would like to understand their reasoning behind this design choice. For decades we have been told that running silicon at higher temps can potentially shortens its lifespan. When a company then tells you the exact opposite they should be explaining the science behind this reasoning.
What I am concerned about is AMD saying in 3 years time "we did an oopsie, your fault so buy a new cpu". I may change my mind on this but at the moment I have concerns.

Huh? The 7600x in gaming is showing it 20% faster over the 12600k in gaming at 1080p when paired with a 3090Ti (for average over 12 games) and the CPU the bottleneck and within 1% of the 12900k.
Average = 211fps vs 176fps - 20% better
Lows = 166fps vs 136fps - 22% better
That means the lows on the AMD is almost as good as the average as well at only 5% lower lowers than Intels average.

They are very impressive, but not for gaming especially at 1440p/4K as those are GPU bottlenecked. I'm keeping my 5800X until Zen 5 and will wait for AM5 and DDR5 prices to come down. Zen 3 -> Zen 4 is a poor upgrade.

With that hyperbole title, i'm not watching that. ####'ing click bait, why does a channel like his need infantile click bait titles?

Oh in some ways they are incredibly impressive. If you are running a Blender workload then this is a must have upgrade but in a lot of other areas the 7000 series is very lacklustre.
I would also be very hesitant about a DDR5 upgrade if I was running 128gb of DDR4 lol
