OcUK Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X review thread

Woah a 6W reduction! Better tell my banker/accountant/investment person to expect another £10 a year.

Still lacking behind intel in that department , oh well maybe zen 6

Total noob question: what’s the interplay between ‘eco mode’ + ‘PBO’ with these chips?

Presumably if a chip is on ECO mode with a fixed wattage, PBO ceases to function?

Also, not sure there has been any eco benchmarks test with the new chips but perhaps that’s because it’s pointless…? I recall there being a lot of positivity about eco modes on the 7000 series.

Again, noob comments :)
 
Those 30-40% less power computation numbers in Cinebench was in the R23 release, Anandtech tested the Cinebench 2024 version and found not much difference in power wattage. Is the Cinebench 2024 more accurate or just different no idea.

Anandtech
Looking at how the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X compares to the previous Ryzen 7 7700, we can see both perform similarly regarding power consumption. Both chips, when loaded up with the Cinebench 2024 multi-threaded test, consistently tread between 88 W (9700X) and 90 W (7700).

Just looking at the other reviews on YT, so just a bit weird seeing many reviewers discussing how much lower wattage the 9700x is but then others suggesting the 7700x is similar.
 
AMD releases a cpu that isn't squeezed dry at default and the vocal audience sulks about it.

db enabled pbo and gained 20% in cb23 but nothing in gaming


Because AMD did noting for the IOD so the entire pipeline is choked. You see the CB bump because it runs entirely in cache and can take advantage of the additional speed and power.
 
You said Intel are still ahead of AMD in power idle power consumption which they aren’t. You’d have to back to Skylake for that to be true

Ok fair should have been
which has lower idle , 14th / 13th 13600-13900 / 14600/14900 or Ryzen 5/ 7 / 9 7xxx / 9xxx
