Run a little hot at their default power settings
Though AMD says this is by design and that running at or above 90° Celsius under load is both safe and expected behavior
7600X's default 105 W TDP uses more power and generates more heat with little-to-no
Feature Rich Platform
Simple Overclocking
Big Gains Gen Over Gen
Strong Performance
Imminent Launch Of Intel’s 13th Gen CPUs

Very expensive
High platform cost
Demanding cooling requirements / high temperatures
Very long boot times
Second CCD runs lower clocks than first CCD
Small performance loss in some workloads due to inter-CCD communication
Fantastic multithreaded performance, Eco mode can drastically cut power and thermals, Great efficiency,
Gets hot in multithreaded workloads, Matched by Ryzen 7 7700X in games, Still expensive

It's been a fascinating experience trying out the Ryzen 9 7950X with three very different kinds of cooling solutions. The 95°C load temperature of Zen 4 desktop processors is somewhat misunderstood due to the way it's being referred to on social media an...

From the time so far with Zen 4, I am left with a great impression and captivated by the stellar generational uplift. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X will be available beginning 27 September at $549 USD while the Ryzen 9 7950X is priced at $799 USD. Thanks to AMD p...

It's fair to say that the Ryzen design totally rejuvenated AMD. The first group showed promise, the second iteration refined that formula and by the 3000 series they were a legitimate contender. So much so that the 5000 series saw a huge uptick in the amo...

We also spent some time overclocking the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, to see if we could wring any additional performance from the processor. Similar to the Ryzen 5000 series, AMD offers an array of tools for overclocking Ryzen 7000 series processors, including "on...

Abstract: If you follow the field of PC processors, and the recent history of AMD and its bigger competitor Intel, you know that most of the time, semiconductor change is gradual. On rare occasions, though, we see performance improve by leaps and bounds. For AMD an...
