Drivers etc? Fine wine… What are these 5800xt or 5900xt 16 core thingamajiggers like - seem to have missed discussions on those here??

Waste of silicone
My only hope here is that they're targetting efficiency with the "regular" chips but will target performance with the X3D ones, primarily to do battle with Intel Arrow Lake.
If not then I guess my plan to swap my 7800X3D out for a 9800X3D will get cancelled.

Depends on the workload, but the performance is strange that’s for sure. For some use cases the performance uplift is huge but others are minimal. As you point out, the only consistent metric is reduced power use.

Yeah but financially it would be the best bang-per-buck to drop one in, but tbf you prob have the itch & fancy a complete upgrade
Nah it's the opposite of the itch - I'm a bit bummed that there's nothing that makes we want to chuck the pc out for a new one yet lol
I disagree, on average similar or slightly better performance but using a lot less power 65W instead of 105W is a win in my book. These chips should run cooler than the previous gen at full load.

and gives some headroom to increase again for the next gen assuming Intel deliver something competitive

The 9700X looks like it could be an interesting overclocker given what it can do with just a 65 wat TDP
The improvements to AVX-512 performance are helping when it comes to those tests. That should be good news for RPCS3 as well. The power efficiency gains are also pretty impressive.Great Linux performance though especially at 65W:
(Their site might time out though).
Not much to impress a gaming-focused audience though, so I'm not surprised at the frosty reception. Still glad for my personal use case that I bought a 5800X3D last year.
What the tdp says on the box doesn't always translate in reality, the power comes into play when you doing multi threaded work at that point you'd be looking at 12 or 16 cores to do that can't of work with
How much they are asking for them with the current pricing of the 7700x and 7800x3d
imo that's poor going after 2 years and how much they are priced at , no doubt we'll see price cuts in a few months

Yeah on one review Starfield is running slower on the 9700X than the 7700X.
I can only assume the much lower base frequency is hurting performance in bursty chunks of processing, where it doesn't stay up at max frequency long enough.
Minimum fps's are worse than the 7700X too.. :/
AMD Ryzen 7 9700X Review - The Magic of Zen 5
The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X boasts a robust eight-core design and exceptional single-threaded performance with great power efficiency. In our review we saw good gains with PBO overclocking and TDP increases. Unfortunately, the $360 price tag is steep, and there are several good alternatives available.

Looks like a fairly mild jump over the 7700X.

The improvement in gaming is a little disappointing, I was expecting something slightly under a 7800X3D. Productivity looks alright though, similar performance for much less power or ~15-20% jump with PBO on over stock (judging from Der8auers video.)

Still watching Steve, not looking good so far....
In gaming the power difference doesn't look that big

In games CPU use ranges from being hammered to hardly used, with everything in between.

And when you need stuff for multi threaded stuff not sure buying 6/8 cores is the play 2024
These without x3d not sure what's the point , all comes down to pricing which doesn't look great right now

Ok i've seen enough... The gaming performance is very 'meh' its not worse that the 7700X but its also not better, that is disappointing.
Power consumption, that is good. The 9700X completes the same task in the same time as the 7700X but at 59% of the power consumption, that is a 68% improvement in performance per watt, very very impressive, i think that should be acknowledged, its just as shame its not also faster.
I see no reason to but this over the 7700/X and especially the 7800X3D which remains firmly the gaming king and just great value.
