Good to see no degradation in the number of GFLOPS indicating that there's no CPU throttling I've run this for up to 25 trials and it looks good with no issues. In fact, air cooling with a modern inexpensive cooler/fan works great like this DeepCool GAMMAXX AG400 which can be had for less than US$25 and does an excellent job (I got the nicer looking black AG400 BK for a few more bucks but that's cosmetic): Even though AMD recommends liquid cooling for this CPU, I don't see this as needed at all. Using Core Temp I've seen power estimates hover typically around 25W when idle all the way to bursts of 145W with all cores running and turbo clock speeds. Despite the increased core count, the TDP has stayed at 105W from the 3900X to 5950X. One nice thing about the AMD Ryzen series is that overall power utilization remains very reasonable. Already for audio and video editing work, as well as some software testing, I actually can't complain about the current 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is currently less than US$190, 8-core, 16-threads, 7nm process, released in early 2022, TDP only 65W.įor the Workstation, I was tempted to go with the latest and greatest Ryzen 9 7950X or the Intel i9-14900K but could not justify the need for a new motherboard and DDR5 RAM. Well, the Intel i7-3770K I was using is just ancient (launched mid-2012, using DDR3 RAM) by computer standards, so why not? In 2023, might as well at least update the CPU to go beyond current high-end game console standards of the PS5 and XBOX X which are about the speed of a slower Ryzen 7 3700X by most estimates. As has been my usual fashion for years, I'll move my Ryzen 9 3900X ( previously discussed) over to the office and update the Workstation I use at home which sees more CPU usage.Īs for the Gaming computer. My justification for the Workstation CPU upgrade was that I was in need of an update to my work computer which for the last few years has been the old first-gen Ryzen 1700. And since it has been ages, I also updated my Gaming PC in the living room for the heck of it to the Ryzen 7 5700X. However, I upgraded my Workstation computer recently to the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU - 16-cores, 32-threads I found at a decent price. The trend isn't as obvious with CPU prices.
