I'm still confused about whether ddr5 @ 6400 is worth it for Zen 4.

And why arent they overclocking the infinity fabric to 2133mhz with 6000 MT/s RAM?

just looking at 12900k stock runs 260watts

You know, there was a time when tech journalists used to say 150 watts was too much for a CPU, that 200 watts was insane, and anyone who did that got ridiculed for it.

Now few of them even seem to care enough when one of them is clearly just taking the pee and ignore the other who seems to be getting it right, what's more they all jump on the environment bandwagon when that suits them, just not for this...

Cinebench isn't pointless if you're a 2D / 3D artist, why do you think it exists? Its so people can gauge their performance in Cinema 4D

Low res performance testing has its uses too.

how many people in this thread are a 2d/3d artist. How many 2d/3d artists watch silly youtubers. For most of us cinebench is willy waving or for HWbot.

I have an SS with a 12900k puilling 80w at cinebench. Does that mean it's stock? I don't understand what is the point of your picture. If it's over 125 pl 1 / 240 pl 2 it's not stock. Period
it was too show how efficient the 7950x was when matching the 12900k score , no need to get panties in a twist
