Text of the video

Zen 4 is finally here and according to AMD this new ryzen 7000 series processors are supposed to offer the biggest performance jump that AMD has made since the very first generation of ryzen CPUs there was about five years ago they're supposed to heavily compete with the top tier processors that Intel has to offer and they're supposed to become the absolute best option you can buy for gaming and for productivity and those are some pretty big statements so we did a bunch of benchmarks in the last couple of days and we tested 20 different games across three different resolutions to see if these claims are actually true so let's begin this video is brought to you by Corsair and their brand new dominated Platinum RGB memory these super fast ddr5 6000 memory kits are specifically made for AMD and their ryzen 7000 series CPUs they feature a stylish aluminum heat spreader with dhx technology that keeps them nice and cool under load offering a smooth and stable performance with a lot of room for overclocking and they also come with 12 customizable capellix LEDs that you can control with their IQ software and easily sync up with your other Corsair components so check them out using the links in the description down below for those of you that might have missed all the recent news today AMD is launching four new processors and if we compare them to the previous generation the overall core count didn't really change that much so the ryzen 5 7600x is still a six core 12 thread CPU like the 5600x was the ryzen 7 700x is still an 8 core 16 thread CPU just like the 5700x was the ryzen 9 is 7900x is still a 12 core 24 thread CPU like the 5900x was and the 7950x is still a 16 core and 32 thread monster just like the 5950x was and all of these scores are created somewhat equal so there are no efficiency cores and they're all pretty much performance they also run at much higher clock speeds than before and the TDP has gone up but it is still lower than Intel's Alternatives have a very nice upgrade is that all these new CPUs now have integrated Graphics but the biggest and the most interesting change has to be the new platform so after five and a half years AMD has decided to just ditch am4 socket and move to am5 which means that if you plan to buy these 7000 series processors you will need a new amb AI motherboard as well as ddr5 memory
now the x670 and the x670e motherboards are launching at the same time as these CPUs but as far as I know cheaper b650 and b650e Alternatives should come out in a couple of weeks as well just make sure you don't confuse them with the b660 which is actually an Intel board anyway I have both the ryzen 9 7900x and the ryzen 5 7 600x here which I'll cover in my next video so make sure that you're subscribed to my channel so you don't miss it and even though the ryzen 9 box is much larger than the ryzen 5 one there is nothing else in there just a CPU and a lot of foam which I think is completely pointless so if you don't plan to add a cooler there is absolutely no need for a box of this size as you can see there are no more pins on the actual CPU the new platform has an LGA socket

now 22 faster than the I9 and about nine percent faster than the 5950 X which is an excellent result maximum load power consumption is up from the last generation with the 7900x using 189 Watts on average in that longer blender run compared to 135 Watts for the 5950x while intel was using even more power while having the lowest result in that Benchmark single thread performance is up by a massive amount as well so the the 7900x was beating the 5950x by about 23 percent and the I9 by about three to four percent and even though Intel had made a huge performance jump with their 12 gen CPUs AMD just managed to catch up plus go a bit further but unfortunately the raw CPU performance doesn't always directly translate to gaming performance because there are games that simply prefer Intel and there are games that simply prefer AMD and then you have games that are somewhere in between the two if we look at Spider-Man remastered the 7900x looks great on 1080p outperforming the I9 by a couple of frames and the 5950x by almost 17 but on 1440p and 4K resolution that difference mostly disappears in the division 2 the 7900x does win at 1080p but loses some ground at high resolutions yet again in God of War it's actually the other way around with the 7900x being a bit slower than the 12900k on 1080p but actually slightly faster at the 4K resolution and the same applies to outriders the 7900x is a bit slower than the I9 at 1080p but a bit faster at 4K resolution in World War Z the 7900x is just behind the I9 on all resolutions but these differences are really too small to consider and the same goes for Assassin's Creed Valhalla with less

now in Rainbow Six Siege the 12900k did slightly better across all resolutions on average but on 1080p AMD did have better one percent lows and on the other hand the 7900x did better in CS go by a larger margin at both 1080P and 1440p so if you compare it to the 5950x it is obvious that ryzen made a big jump over eight percent in 1080P gaming is a generational Improvement that AMD should be proud of and there's a small benefit at high resolutions as well
now I am not saying that you should upgrade if you already have a 5000 series CPU but it is a very good step forward on the other hand it is really hard to summarize the results when you compare it to the i912 900k because it completely depends on which games you test with so if we look at the 20 games that I've tested on 1080p the 7900x was ahead in eight games and the I9 was ahead in 12 games but only six of those games showed a difference of four percent or more and three are on the AMD side and three are on Intel side so on average there is actually only a half a percent of difference between the two
now on 4040p it is about the same it is a draw in two games AMD wins six Intel wins 12 but only three of those titles show a gap of three percent of more and keep in mind three percent is not something that you will really notice while gaming and even though on 4K resolution you're really unusually GPU bound the CPU Choice did make a tiny bit of a difference in some games still none of these games showed more than

now this week I do recommend that you sit tight and wait a little bit longer to see how all
