UPDATE!!! - Hey, I wanted to add something we learned after. Also, huge shout out to Hardware Unboxed for the additional analysis. We have an updated review coming later but game uplift is actually closer to 5% and in our rush to finish the review on time we did choose titles that were more Zen biased. Also, when comparing this chip against the 7700 (just for gaming) you may have a better more economical option versus the 9700x. For SFF builds that do productivity and gaming you need to decide if the boost is worth it. Hardware unboxed thread X with us on gaming for visibility - x.com/HardwareUnboxed/status/1822151590591013338
i guess you cooled the intel systems with a 120mm aio the numbers you pull are holy mother missleading - can you crawl deeper into AMDs behind? in gaming i have seen 9700x pulling 170+ watts and yours stays under 100w? - this review should be alarming to everyone watching - this is 100% bought or hardcore fanboy of AMD
Nice balanced review without clickbait, negative hyperbole. Faster, uses less power, what isn't to like. Ignore the weird, kinda creepy Steve stans creeping around here, they cannot think for themselves.
Nice review less power and less heat sounds great. Can save some money on power supply, cooling and still have good temperatures. Also you wont need the most expensive motherboard with lower TDP and PPT. That means less thermal throttling and less performance loss because of heat and power delivery.
Kinda crazy how much more positive this review is versus the "consensus". And with the numbers to back up that enthusiasm. Makes me wonder what's driving the massive disparity in conclusions.
Full of what? We actually share out data publicly so you can verify the information yourself and you can ask for screenshots of any of the data in question we capture everything. We stand by our review of how the 9700x when it comes to SFF and gaming is a good option, but it's specific. I think the fact that we highlight the good instead of the bad it just counter to TH-cam culture. We show the data so people can make informed decisions and try not to just get clicks by pooping all over products. There are people this is good for, and we want them to be able to see the information without a bunch of flourishes.
Laziness and confirmation bias. Steve from Gamers Nexus likes to complain, it's his whole thing, negative clickbait. There are plenty of reviews that shine a light on who is a negative clickbaiter and who is actually investigating the 9 series. Scatterbencher makes Steve look stupid. Leo from Kitguru had no issues getting everything running well and likes the chip. Hardware Unboxed is another one of these negative feeding clickbait thumbnail sites that know that negative takes drive clicks. You should avoid both Steve's, competitively disingenuous at best and arrogant.
@@Berserkism I get it. Yeah, both Leo and Windell (and Robey here) were quite positive in their reviews I thought. One of my biggest beefs with CPU reviews is when a conclusion is based primarily on the new versus the prior. OF COURSE it never makes sense to upgrade one gen to the next within a socket gen, that's just dumb. Nor can a new gen EVER compare on a "value" scale to the prior.
@@HeroStrike you better buy 7800x3d,it performs better and consume less power or just buy 7700x it costs significantly less while be only 3% slower on average
Thanks for including the best idle data/wattage comparison of all the reviews I have seen. Edit: Will you be able to compare them with the 7600 and 7700 (non X) in a future video?
Probably going to wait till the fall to swap on over to AM5. I know the 7800x3d is still a monster for gaming but i really like those temps for the 9700x.
The 9950X I'm sorry to say isn't as good as I expected at all. AMD enabled Core Parking on the 9950X. On a non 3D-Vache CPU...Core Parking...WHY AMD WHY?!
I am currently in the process of building my first pc and I am stuck on which cpu I should get. I really like this Ryzen 7 9700X one. I will be using my pc for gaming and starting to teach myself coding. I also plan to run virtual machines on it as well. Is this cpu great for these tasks or should I go for the ryzen 9 7900 non-X? It is just that the ryzen 9 7900 non-X is not as good in gaming as the ryzen 7 9700X or the 7700X which is holding me back for about $100 more than the 7700X.
my comp will transfer from 3400g to 9700x next year. mainboard is already here. the temps are fairly at the same level. for me the transition is all about effiencey anyways to maintain the low sonic level for audio production
@@robeytech Hint, the 7800X3D crushed 9000X. It would be cool to add in a 5000X3D part as well, they managed a few wins while remaining quite relevant on average comparatively. In Final Fantasy XIV 1080p max the 5600X3D beat everything but the 5800X3D and 7800X3D in this game. It was 5 fps faster than the 9700X and over 40 fps faster than all the standard 7000X. AM4 is so crazy good, on its way to over a decade of amazing gaming performance.

9700x still not worth the price cause 7800x3d price so low 7800x3d is the better buy. 7800x3d is still king in gaming.. I'm excited see how the upcoming X3D turns out
On some countries like ours, 7800x3d is 10% more expensive than the new 9700x. I'm happy with my purchase since the 9700x is doing near the performance of 7800x3d with lower wattages, cooler temps, and cheaper price.

If you're going to compare the 65W 9700X to its real predecessor you would need to use the 65W 7700 and forget about the clever naming trick AMD is using here. All the so called efficiency improvement goes right out the window when compared fairly. It also means the 7700 non X was $50 cheaper MSRP and had a free air cooler.

New node, new release. X3D chips are not comparable. The 9 series X3D will undoubtedly be faster, it's low hanging fruit comparison. So is 12 core to 8 core. Do you think that 12 core 9 series will be slower than the 7900X 😂. 9700X uses less power and is faster overall than its predecessor, fact.

@@Berserkism actually it use 15-25 watt less with 4090 on all power system which are over 450wstt and that is nothing !!infact as i see few videos power usage are pretty close to zen4 cpus or higher then of 7800x3d !!
Bencharks are clearly fake. Everyone else in the world has Intel i7 and i9 beating this CPU in every single game, but here EVEN IN CYBERPUNK your AMD is faster. Come on.
stop talking bullshits!!9600x &9700x performance lift over zen4 cpus are basically none existable or 3% if we watch Hardware unboxed which have best and most detailed tests with most of games and excuse how 9700x are very power efficient are crap too considering it consume only 16watt less then 7700x in all power system usage with rtx 4090 so 464 vs 480 on 7700x system
And there you have it, you're the only person on the planet who is excited for this total flop of a cpu. Yes, you can pay 40% more for a cpu that runs at lower power and no gain in performance over the 7700X (okay maybe 3% +or- depending on title). The only reason I clicked on this video was it had the word "Build" in it, and I thought, "someone's actually going to build with this"? The 7700 and the 7700X are both still a much better deal. I'm building my new machine today with the 7800X3D so I really don't care.
Excited for the SFF potential. To be clear we also said it was only good at one to two core and above 1080p CPUs don’t matter as much (and gaming was impressive). I think you are so used to overly negative reviews that when you find something more balanced it seems insane. There are good things about this chip, is it what the rumors suggested no, but for new builders especially SFF or EU this is a solid option even over the 7800x3D. Also this is why people should wait for independent reviews because 9 times out of 10 reality doesn’t measure up.
Look there is stuff to appreciate about these chips and for new builders especially in the SFF space this is probably your best option. I hate that liking something for the options it provides just because other people don't and didn't look at it from the same angle is bad. TBH tech is not one size fits all.
@@robeytech No one and I mean no one wants to trade performance for efficiency. It's never a good thing otherwise we would all be running Celeron's, and sure a little trade off will be OK in some applications but performance is the driving force behind this discipline, even for space projects. AMD reduced the current draw on these processors to achieve a desired efficiency at the expense of performance which is not going to sit well in this community, however these processors will perform if the power is increases. Shrinking the process does not mean more efficiency, it's actually the opposite. given the dielectric material that separates these transistors is becoming thinner the voltage must be reduced to keep leakage to a reasonable level. I believe we have pretty much reached the end of this fab structure and a new method is necessary which Intel is on the forefront of along with TSMC manufacturing. AMD was not truthful about the performance of these CPU's...
Umm I didn't get paid, and we don't do paid reviews. We also just don't overtly slam things for clicks when there is cool stuff that has been done by the tech.
Just go with the 7700x or 7700, save money. It's not gonna make a single difference. You guys are hyping up a CPU which is a rebrand of something that it's already there
It depends on the lenses. As a new builder, especially for SFF and in some ways EU this is a good chip given its heat and efficiency. If you Ryzen 7000 or on more modern hardware there isn't anything that warrants an upgrade or moving away from the 7800x3d.
@robeytech which is kind of a bummer, I wanted these to be good. I am thinking of switching from my 14700k to something that doesn't give Anxiety about if my chip is gonna die. But I will wait and see what the ryzen 9 is going to.deliver
now compare it to the 7800x3D tho... I have a 5800X3D and considered waiting for this. After getting alot of info on this I realize I wasted time waiting and now will pull trigger on the 7800X3D. Only real CPU power I need is 3D print slicing and gaming. The 9 series are turning out to be a pretty big flop for me.

@@robeytech Just making an Observation
@@robeytech No one and I mean no one wants to trade performance for efficiency. It's never a good thing otherwise we would all be running Celeron's, and sure a little trade off will be OK in some applications but performance is the driving force behind this discipline, even for space projects.
AMD reduced the current draw on these processors to achieve a desired efficiency at the expense of performance which is not going to sit well in this community, however these processors will perform if the power is increases. Shrinking the process does not mean more efficiency, it's actually the opposite. given the dielectric material that separates these transistors is becoming thinner the voltage must be reduced to keep leakage to a reasonable level.
I believe we have pretty much reached the end of this fab structure and a new method is necessary which Intel is on the forefront of along with TSMC manufacturing.
AMD was not truthful about the performance of these CPU's...
@@Bass.Playerit has performance and efficiency.
Lmao, still a YES man I see...anything to get paid.
Umm I didn't get paid, and we don't do paid reviews. We also just don't overtly slam things for clicks when there is cool stuff that has been done by the tech.
Just go with the 7700x or 7700, save money. It's not gonna make a single difference. You guys are hyping up a CPU which is a rebrand of something that it's already there
Not disagreeing, unless you are doing SFF. Then the 9700x is a better choice.
LOL! AMD fail and all the AMD fanatics are shedding tears.
There is a lot to like about this chip, especially for SFF. But this is why we always say, wait for independent reviews.
Yeap. They love to get excuses for this FLOP 😂😂😂
Thus will make the ryzen 9 look even more impressive nice job lowering the power of the lower chips to make the high end look special
Definitely not a fail. Saving power and heat is important. Look at Intel lol.
@@roguegaming9071 in Asia and Africa we love cooler cpu than hot and high tdp cpu
Everything I've seen so far says they are pretty mid at best
It depends on the lenses. As a new builder, especially for SFF and in some ways EU this is a good chip given its heat and efficiency. If you Ryzen 7000 or on more modern hardware there isn't anything that warrants an upgrade or moving away from the 7800x3d.
@robeytech which is kind of a bummer, I wanted these to be good. I am thinking of switching from my 14700k to something that doesn't give Anxiety about if my chip is gonna die. But I will wait and see what the ryzen 9 is going to.deliver
now compare it to the 7800x3D tho...
I have a 5800X3D and considered waiting for this. After getting alot of info on this I realize I wasted time waiting and now will pull trigger on the 7800X3D. Only real CPU power I need is 3D print slicing and gaming. The 9 series are turning out to be a pretty big flop for me.
