Hmm, considering I already have a 5900X it looks like the 7950X for gaming isn't worth a whole new system. I think I'll wait to see how Raptor Lake and/or 7950X3D next year (if it happens) washes out.

I'm comparing the 3600 to the 7600X, HUB have it around 60% faster vs TPU about 35%....

I upgraded from a 3600 to a 5800X, the one that rings more true to me in real life is the HUB one. Even if i still feel like that's conservative. and i don't even have a high end GPU.

Also have 5900x I reckon you could skip rocket lake as well

When FPS is north of 100fps don't see the point

DDR5 6000 30CL, high temperature, no idea on AM5 motherboard price as can’t find anywhere available yet, hard to justify, let alone the CPU price.
Even someone buying the whole system today, AM4 seems like a good bet. 5800x at £265.

If that cause would put the 7600x at £328 whcih is £79 too much!

That is too much, its also down to the weak pound / strong US dollar, its $299, without knowing the price of the 13600K i already feel like it needs to be $250, $270 would be pushing it but still begrudgingly ok.

Its actually better than i thought it would be, according to the HUB review it actually does quite well against the 12600K in productivity, and its a very good gaming CPU, but its not quite $299.

I think you dont understand how percentages work. TPUP has the 3600 at 72% and the 7600x at 100. That's not 35% faster, lol.
