AMD also released a Ryzen 9 7900, this 65W non-X model offers absolutely beautiful performance and temperatures. Next to the 7700, this actually might become a best seller in the current Ryzen 7000 product stack.

Power consumption at idle seemed striking, then I remembered it had integrated graphics, though testing was done with an RTX 3090 installed, perhaps that's why it's power consumption in only that metric was greater than the R9 5900x, 78 watts vs. 69 watts? With multithreading use it was gobs more efficient. I have a 5900x, and I love it, but this is impressive. In another couple of generations I'd be tempted by such frugal and efficient power usage. https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/amd-ryzen-9-7900-processor-review,6.html

To me it's simple:
Does your workload benefit from higher clock speeds or more cache? If you have the ability to cool it properly, opt for the higher cache and overclock it for the best combo.
Looking at these benchmarks, and with the knowledge that the X3D version is coming next month, I have to wonder what the point of the 7900X was.

I have a 3800x and x570 Asus Tuff built three yeras ago that will go to my wife that is need of a new pc.
Was looking at pricing of the new chipset platforms for a new mid-range gaming pc and ended up going with the 5800x3d and MSI x570s Tomahawk MAX. The 3800x pc has been a solid and great 1440p gaming pc and the pricing vs performnace gain for the new platforms didn't appear to be worth it for me.
No doubt the 7800x3d is likely going to be a great gaming cpu when released. But considering what is available now the 5800x3d was the route I chose.
I was in the same boat, changed my 3800x for a 5800X3D, il buy a cheaper MOBO to use the 3800x in as i have spare RAM as weel.

Wait, didn't we just have Ryzen 7000 reviews recently? So this is AMD's strategy to spam with as many SKUs as possible to keep review buzz cycle going.
EDIT: oooh ones before had X

It's not only the fact that it's more expensive than the 5800X3D that make it a poor choice for gaming, it" also the fact that AM5 boards are very expensive compared to the AM4 ones right now.
It's a much better option compared to the 7900x for productivity, unless you need something that heavily utilizes the CPU for extended time periods.
That 10% uplift could matter on such occasions. But then again, this one needs a lot less power under load. Yeah, the 7900x is a tough sell now.
