AMD Ryzen 9 7900X test: A BANG of an intergenerational leap

Overall gaming performance

More aggressive power limits? Okay, but at a higher efficiency than Intel can do, AMD told itself while working on the Ryzen 7000 processors. And that’s how it really is, despite record-high clock speeds that are truly unusual for a new, unrefined manufacturing node. If this is just the beginning… In any case, not everything is rosy and AMD’s new processors have downsides that will need to be addressed in the future.

Overall gaming performance

To calculate average gaming performance, we normalized the Intel Core i7-11900K processor. The percentage differences of all other processors are based on this, with each of the games contributing an equal weight to the final result. To see exactly what the formula we use to arrive at each value looks like, see „New average CPU score measuring method“.

  1. If I go a silent setup with the Ryzen 7000 series, I’ll get much lower performance, while still paying the full price. Lisa Su should pack some noise-canceling headphones in these boxes.

    1. This can be adjusted now. Youtubers have guides on how you can lower the temp without losing any performance. 61c Avg. the temps sit at now.

      Apparently they are designed to run at that temperature ,but like me i am not comfortable with that.
