  • Is Zen 5 finally better for gaming? Ryzen 9600X vs. 7600X

    Jump

  • Well, yeah I guess. But let's say you were on AM4 with Ryzen 3000/5000 and were looking forward to jumping up to Ryzen 9000 at release specifically because the jump to 7000 wasn't "big enough" to justify doing it. Suddenly with Ryzen 9000 it ended up being barely more of an upgrade for you than Ryzen 7000, which would make it still not really worthwhile. Upgrade perspectives don't have to be just a single gen!

  • The initial pricing was bad:

    Of course, performance is just one part of the equation. Pricing is equally important, and at launch, the 9700X was priced at $360, while the 9600X came in at $280. Meanwhile, comparable Zen 4 models like the 7700 cost just $290 and included a cooler, while the Ryzen 5 7600 was only $180 and also came with a box cooler – something neither the 9600X nor the 9700X offered.

    And prior to launch, expectations were set wrong:

    Released in late 2024, we were all excited for AMD's latest offering – their next step on AM5 – and everything coming out of the company leading up to the release sounded promising. We were expecting double-digit performance gains for games thanks to a 16% IPC increase over Zen 4. Sadly, this isn't what we got.

    If expectations were managed better and launch pricing made sense, reviews would probably have been mildly positive, highlighting the power consumption difference that you've noted instead of focusing on those two problems (lower-than-expected performance and nonsensical pricing).

    Perceptions are heavily colored by how things are at launch, even though today the situation is modestly improved due to the pricing changes.

  • [sensationalized headline] AMD claims that ARM doesn't offer any advantage over x86, even in energy efficiency, as recent-gen APUs continue to prove

    Jump

  • The headline is a bit sensationalized, but it's the closest-to-the-original source that I found (the original being in German).

    The original article's bit translated from German with DeepL (which is similar to what's in the WCCF tech article):

    Both AMD Ryzen and Intel Core can offer extremely long battery life in notebooks while accessing the entire x86 ecosystem. Ultimately, there is no advantage for Arm in the overall package.

    So it's not really a blanket statement, but a contextual one.

  • Is Zen 5 finally better for gaming? Ryzen 9600X vs. 7600X

    Jump

  • tl;dr:

    In terms of gaming performance, Zen 5 still offers very little over Zen 4, especially for the non-X3D V-Cache models. We called Zen 5 a flop in our day-one review, and we completely stand by that.

    We've finally reached a point where buying Zen 5 makes sense financially, but it's still far from an exciting upgrade.
