At the end of September we published a large file Review of two new AMD Ryzen 7000 processorstop model Ryzen 9 7950X and the Ryzen 7 7700X. However, there are still two models in the middle and the bottom, namely Ryzen 9 7900X And the Ryzen 5 7600X. We only received this after the introduction of AMD, but we have now tested it extensively according to our trusted testing protocol.

Additional tests in eco mode and with different coolants

Additionally, we’ve also included some of your suggestions in this follow-up review. For example, youridv1, Vagax, and Nox were all curious about performance in the so-called Eco-Mode where Ryzens’ power consumption is limited. It is suspected that Ryzen 7000 CPUs have been ramped up a lot for maximum performance, which puts them at a somewhat ineffective point in the effort/efficiency curve. We tested the two newly tested Ryzens systems fully twice so you can compare how Eco Mode compares to the defaults at each point.

Another suggestion we have included is to test processors with different coolers. We usually test every CPU with a powerful water cooler, so heat production isn’t an issue anyway. However, Ryzen 7000 processors can get very hot. AMD stresses that this is not an issue in terms of lifespan, but the processors partially adjust their clock speed to the available cooling. Whether or not you actually lose performance if you install an air cooler instead of a thicker water cooler on your Ryzen 5 7600X, we’ll look further into this review.

Ryzen 5 7600X and Ryzen 9 7900X

What’s new in the Zen 4 architecture, the 5nm production process, the AM5 socket and everything that goes with it, we’ve of course already discussed extensively on our site AMD Ryzen 7950X and 7700X Review. So now we’re just looking at exactly how different the Ryzen 5 7600X and Ryzen 9 7900X are from those previously tested models.

The Ryzen 5 7600X is the first and currently the only Ryzen 5 chip in the 7000 series. It has six cores, just like Ryzen 5s from previous generations, and at 5.3GHz it features a slightly slower boost clock than more expensive models. Like the 7700X, it only has one who – which With CPU cores, it has a TDP of 105W.

The Ryzen 9 7900X is similar in build to the 7950X. So he has two Convention to Combat DesertificationBut within each one who – which Two cores are disabled, bringing the total to twelve cores. It might increase to 5.6GHz, but since the TDP is 7950X, it’s possible that the overall boost speed is actually higher than the higher model. After all, the power budget can be divided between fewer cores.
