Ryzen 7000 and 9000 see massive gains from Windows 11 24H2. Mostly.

I would have been interested with the 7800X3D & 7700/7700X in the benchmark, but the 14700K is pointless, they're dead to me as something I'd consider recommending.


He is correct about that part. Intel never recommended anyone use the baseline profiles, they're under the stock spec.

The 253 watt limit is not why these CPUs have had issues within the last 6 months, they're still operating at that with the supposedly 'fixed' BIOS.

The average high-end board ignored the power limits entirely "out of the box".

Intel and by extension him talking out of both sides of his face, claiming 125 watt power while insisting to reviewers they use 253 watts as a measure of performance.

It is a choice, and for reasons of principles Steve Burke will not go along with it, Steve Walton has other principles.

I haven't yet actually found anyone (regular acquaintances) with one failing due to the Intel degradation problem, there are a small number of people complaining of it on some forums but only a fraction of those even actually sound like that problem where they are definitely failing Cinebench R15, UE5 Shader compiling and in certain 7-Zip tests with other hardware ruled out - most of the rest are almost certainly issues due to things like RAM incompatibility or PSUs failing, etc.

It is annoying the issue largely seems to have fallen out of sight without a proper resolution, even GN hasn't published a follow up with failure analysis, etc. (albeit that can take months to do properly).
