Nah, those generations didn't spontaneously crash or oxidise.

Who'd have thought the market now needs Intel to keep AMD honest? 
If indeed these are equivalent to non-X CPU's, if there's a surplus of better chips later, maybe there will be a 9650X/9750X
Requested cancellation of my order, something I was reluctant to do. Rushed launch, reviews all over the place including around efficiency. Will see how things mature. For a work/office machine with occasional gaming it would have been fine but will see if something better comes along or if bios revisions change the landscape somewhat, if prices drop. And see what competition Intel brings.
My punishment is I'll keep the SSD that's coming today that I ordered separately to go with the system. Will put it to use in an existing system for now and utilise later when decide what to upgrade to. 8 cores is enough for the intended purpose of the machine but will see how the 9900X shapes up too.

I’m sure someone somewhere would think that.

That's some pretty good performance, critically its much better than the 7700X which just doesn't show up on Windows at all, and if you look what you will also see is AMD just stomps all over Intel in Linux anyway.
Windows just ____ sucks, yet another reason to switch to Linux.
Oh dear golden opportunity for AMD to take advantage of Intel being in a right old mess and we basically get a slight rehash of 7000 series non 'x' 65W TDP chips rebranded as the more expensive chips!
9700XT with a 100w+ tdp incoming down the line maybe?
Can't see that the x3d chips will be much better.
Hopefully we'll get at least one if not two more gens out of AM5 to provide a worthwhile upgrade from the 7800x3d I have now.

It depends on which review you watch, more than one, a few shows them as zero change from the previous gen while others, a few show them as pretty good, as good as AMD's own slides.
We are now in a situation where what you make of the product depends entirely on which review you watch, that's a new trend and not a good one.

These guys can't stop

Suggests Zen 5 was probably targeted at data centers, servers and cloud platforms given Linux's dominance in that area rather than home consumers.
Still though there's still a chance that the X3D may unlock all that Zen 5 goodness.

How many of these click bait videos have they made in the last 24 hours? 4, 5? Yes this is getting stupid.

Once they get a stick up their ass about something they drone on and on and on and on about it. Apparently it's impossible to condense the amount of whining they have to expel to a single video. The other 9 series chips have yet to be released, so whinging guaranteed to the end of the year at minimum.

Steve Walton has some sort of head issue.
About a year maybe a bit more ago Lisa Sue joked with some Microsoft guy that he was tight, he said why would i buy a gaming PC when an XBox is better value, to which Lisa jibed no its because you're tight, it was quite funny.
Steve Walton made 3 videos about that in two days, in which he red faced argued that reading between the lines this meant that she implied PC gamers are tight, how you arrive at that conclusion only he in his head knows... those videos were then justification for him to spend the next 2 weeks relentlessly spamming Lisa Sue's personal Twitter account demanding she respond to his line of questioning.
At that point i unsubscribed from him because that's.... well the last time i described that sort of behaviour on this forum i got in to a lot of trouble so i wont do it again.

I remember something about him spamming an amd account, didn't know the whole back story. Sounds more than a little odd.
Should have changed the slides then
maybe, just maybe Intel have closer ties with Microsoft than Linux. Look at all of those Windows updates when Intel introduced their 'e-cores'.
With a time machine?
Intel are gonna face a class action potentially worth hundreds of millions. AMD probably thought it was worth the small backlash of changing specs.

He has a business to run and staff to pay at the end of day, if he can make some money calling out AMD on their mistakes then so be it. I watched the video and tbh there wasn't anything wrong or misleading with what's being said and probably reflects the feelings of what a lot of people are feeling right now.
don't think it's worth it because it's only gonna come back and bite them reviews come out before release
Shame because the CPU side the slides used to be good , looks like the GPU team is also doing the slides for the CPU as well

AMD keeps shooting itself in the foot launch after launch, it's depressing
