Much more power-efficient than Intel's 12th-gen CPUs at the high end
And that's likely to hold true for the 13th-gen CPUs as w

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
AMD does well on the performance side; however, we observe scarce IPC improvement of just 3%, which may be combined with clock frequency reaching ~ 5.5 GHz on some cores. That IPC made AMD pull open all available registers, the trade-off being thermal- an...
Monstrous multithreading performance, $100 less than 5950X, Eco mode bangs, 5.9GHz
Do you need a 16core CPU?, Struggles in gaming against Alder Lake, Where's the real X3D gaming chip?, Hot. Or is it
A multi-threading monster of a computational CPU, hitting clock speeds we could only previously get near through serious overclocking. It's also got an Eco Mode that delivers cool-running performance even in games, though it's in the frame rate battle whe...
