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.

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.

It's a normal strategy, first they release the best chips, and a bit later release the chips that have some small problems(that might explain the higher consumption at 1 core and at idle), to keep the news rolling

Not bad at mulitcore but gaming, get the 7600 instead.

No way in hell Id buy a 6 core anymore. I just left a 5600x to a 5800x3d.

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.

The point is that some guys need powerful CPUs for work instead of gaming, because not everyone buys good hardware for gaming.

I could afford a 7800 X3D and an AM5 set up but with having a 5800X3D i feel it's too early to let go of this system yet.

These chips might not be the best for gaming but there still better than most. If you're 100% into gaming then i'd still say go for AM4 and get the 5800X3D because this chip still has years of performance left, i have no doubt about that. I'd even go as far as 4 years from release so that would be whatever comes after 7XXX series. 8XXX series will be two years away and i'm sure still on AM5.

5800 X3D isn't cheap but the ram and motherboard can be had for very little money compared to AM5. You don't need an expensive mobo or ram to get the best out of a 5800X3D as long as the vrm is half decent you'll be fine.
