95C is still not good to have as you will a heater in your room.

Temperature alone does not make anything a room heater.
A burning matchstick is at +300 C but it cannot heat a room

Total heat power output is what is critical, and yes, in that metric, Ryzen 7000 is worse than Ryzen 5000, but still is just ~220W, which is nothing compared to real room heaters of 1500 ~ 2000W
 
Note that all this talk about the 95c temps are on FULL LOAD, right? Most of the time, light work, gaming etc it should not touch 95c - or am I missing something?

i am waiting for AMD's 8000 series, in which they would have resolved 95C to 65C probably, for the moment i am more than happy with 5600x with 65watts usage and 65C ;) :p

exactly. This is right approach.
for games 5600x is the #2 CPU just below 58003d version.

And who knows if AMD fixed these in next iteration , last lets say Q2 2023.
Im not really concern about temp, but power consumption. 65-100 is ideal, if i have to burn ~200watts, i will better go threadripper route.
i need more core & RAM for my rig anyways.

Pricing are bomb.. 7000x CPUs seems to be way way overkill for gaming.

here is good video of AM5 mother board lineup.

Yeah, they are not for gaming. But AMD just screwed up majorly, as usual, in the marketing and communications department. The product is fine, nothing great - 5% reduction in performance seems to be the only effect of drastically reducing power and temperature. Multiple reviewers are annoyed with AMD not explaining things properly before review.
 
AMD did not give the option of DDR4 so the adoption will be slow unless DRAM prices come down. Intel went the smart way. They became greedy (AMD).

13th Gen Intel CPUs support up to 128 GB of DDR4-3200 or DDR5-5600 RAM in dual-channel mode.

For Intel's cadence - about 1 backward compatible socket per 2 years, it is much easier to support DDR4. With AMD's cadence of longer attempted support, not so much - DDR4 might look like a joke in 2024.


AMD can't really change their release cadence in the short term. Both from consumer expectations perspective, and the way their teams are divided among people working on next gen vs current gen.

And while greed is everywhere, DDR5 money is not even going to AMD's pockets, so this part is not exactly greed. If you are saying Hynix bribed AMD, I don't see much evidence, it looks like a conspiracy theory.
