A more comprehensive look at the Zen 4 line reveals the true potential of the platform.
Zen 4 is designed to take the heat, but the real story of daily use is in between our productive results and the gaming benchmarks. The productivity tests are meant to put stress on a system to test its limits while the gaming benchmarks are rather short-lived. On average use, the Ryzen 9 7950X hovered around 45 C over ambient temperatures .
Without attributing motivation or marketing tactics, the 7600X feels like it was set up to fail at launch. The Ryzen 5 7600X is solid in gaming performance, keeping in close step with the other CPUs in the series while staying the low power draw leader amongst the pack. However, cost is a prohibiting factor. While the B650E and B650 motherboards have officially launched, the average price for a standard ATX-sized motherboard is still over $200 USD.
In the case of the Ryzen 9 7900X, this CPU shows up to work for the gamer that regularly utilizes their PC for creative tasks like video production, live streaming, or animation. While it is not at the top of the stack, it is still $150 USD less than the Ryzen 9 7950X. Now, $549 USD is no small amount, especially when looking at all of the other expenses that will go along with this purchase.
Once we see more budget-friendly options in RAM and motherboards to pair with the 7600X, it will be an extremely appealing choice for gamers who purely want to game. But, on the other end of the spectrum, if you are a prosumer looking to ascend in performance, the Ryzen 9 7950X may just be what you have been searching for.
