Even some of the productivity benchmarks are showing stagnation/regression so it’s not like it’s just gaming that sucks.
Check out the Linux benchmarks
it's showing it performs very well on Linux which most servers run on

More like they went 'rebadge..' a 7700, as that would be almost fully accurate anyway given the benchmarks and power draw.
Zen 6 will be on AM5 and probably more.
Every CPU from the past 3 decades is that, i don't think Motherboard vendors were given enough time to bake the BIOS, i think they will get better and i think we will see that with the first 800 series Motherboards.Probably because Zen 5 architecture main focus is for workstations/ server space which has bigger margins then desktop , they want to eat into that space , so looks like they taking a hit with the desktop side
He's got to prove himself right hasn't he. After the nth game and 100th voltage reading I gave up. IMHO there is more to Zen 5 than 6 / 8 core gameing. As mentioned before, Windows doesn't play nice with Zen 5 so yes there is more 'under the hood' than we are seeing ATM.Every CPU from the past 3 decades is that, i don't think Motherboard vendors were given enough time to bake the BIOS, i think they will get better and i think we will see that with the first 800 series Motherboards.
Other reviewers, more than one got very much better results than Steve. He can't not know that and he even identifies the problem in the voltage curves being all over the place on his motherboard, so i think his conclusions here are a bit contrived.
They 12 and 16 parts reviews should be live soon, how do we see those going?

I think that they will be surprising.They 12 and 16 parts reviews should be live soon, how do we see those going?

I'll guess results for gaming will be all over the place, productivity will be great!They 12 and 16 parts reviews should be live soon, how do we see those going?
I totally agree. The windows / Linux thing lays bare the performance problems within windows. But then, hasn't windows always been at the behest of Intel. Did we (AMD users) really need al those updates at the time of Intel 'Big - little' super chips.It has a completely original never been done before ladder stile mesh, frankly i don't trust the Windows Scheduler to treat it as intended, to just treat it like a traditional ring bus and go around the outside, at least until AMD can persuade Microsoft to update its scheduler, again.
Zen 5 is the foundation of a new architecture, with updates to Windows, a more baked BIOS... i think these will mature in to something quite good, there are hints of just how good these things can be when one cares to look past all the current hyperbolic click farming.
Anyway.... another review, its niche but relevant.

Is it worth switching from a 7600x to a 9600x or wait until Black Friday and make the move to a 7800X3D?
For playing games? I wouldn’t even consider moving to a 9600, completely pointless. The X3D is what you want for games.
