AM5 and Ryzen 7000 News

why i feel zen4 doesn't provide value at this time... early adopter are mostly serve as lab-rat for bug fixing.

All these reviews hardly matter in real life real life scenario.
Man the way you phrased that I thought 5000 series just got launched and I had to scroll back to understand lol.
lol exactly , i quoted as well and then realised

Yeah, Lisa lied about the efficiency. Except for specific corner cases, out of the many reviews I read, efficiency didn't seem to be a strong point of AM5.

One of the YT videos (I guess Moores Law Is Dead or LevelOneTechs channel) IIRC mentioned that desktop variants of Zen4 are not efficient unless you run in eco mode. Zen4 will excel in laptop/datacenter variants.

I think that they had to push them well beyond their sweet spot, just like Intel has been doing over the past three or four generations.
Still, as far as I can interpret, they're better than 12900K in Efficiency, and would perhaps be even better than 13000 series as Raptor Lake is nothing but a clocked and cache enlarged Alder....

Yeah, that was probably part of Zen 3.5 ( I mean the laptop processors 6000 series ). And yeah, people will have to learn new things : like 95 C, if heatsink is not installed properly lower performance is the main symptom, and sometimes overclock consumes less power than stock

True, but 12900K was an outlier in Alder Lake efficiency, other chips are much better. And millionaires who buy 12900K don't care. The disappointing stuff with AM5 is that relatively Aam Aadmi chips like 7600X are getting inefficient.
