For our fourth and final Ryzen 7000 review, we take a look at the 12-core Ryzen 9 7900X. A processor that will be less popular due to its somewhat unusual core configuration, but make no mistake, it is a gaming and content creation beast.

If I were upgrading, which I am not. .... This would be my choice to upgrade with.
I need the productivity performance, but my 5900x is doing fine for now.

I've calm down a bit after blowing up on my team for stupid stuff at work today, and I've re-read all the Zen 4 reviews here again.
At productivity and most games, all the Zen 4 are at the top of the heap, except for some games where it ties at 1080p.
At 1440p and up, the selected games here are GPU limited.
I also look at the Linux based reviews where Zen 4 7950 and 7900 basically destroyed ADL at almost everything. That was a huge eye opener.
Value PER core, this is BETTER than 7700x or 7600x.
If not for the costs of DDR5-6000CL30 and new MB, all new system buyers should consider the Zen 4 CPU with cores to match their usage. IPC wise it is amazing and those PBO frequencies are amazing too.
My concerns are overall platform costs being WAY too high and maybe more in-depth OC tweaking is required including undervolting and RAM OC like, getting the CL down to 28 or 26 or lower. Would have been amazing to see undervolting and getting the 7600-7900 to PBO up to the same as the 7950 for example. I am sure there is a way to get close unless those chiplets have been relentlessly binned already.
I feel there is a lot of power left on the table but the rush to publish reviews these days have left it to set all core OC, measure the heat and be done with it.
I'm still gonna wait for the 7x00X3D, the one CPU to rule them all!

Must be a mistake? Because 15 -20 seconds is still a lot compared to actual boot times.
...Once your memory is trained POST and thus boot times will ramp up as fast as expected at say 15 to 20 seconds max

How long my x570 takes. I never use fast boot.
