In this part of the video, the presenter provides a detailed comparison between the Ryzen 7 7900x and the previous generation 5900x. Both CPUs have 12 cores and 24 threads, but the 7900x has higher base and boost clocks, as well as increased cache size. The performance benchmarks were conducted using a Gigabyte x670e Aorus Master motherboard for Ryzen 7000 series and an Asus x570 TUF Gaming Plus for Ryzen 5000 series, with different RAM configurations to match each platform’s capabilities. Benchmarking involved using Samsung 980 Pro SSDs, a Be Quiet Dark Power 1200W power supply, and an Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti at 1080p resolution. BIOS settings were reset to default, with RAM speeds manually set or using profiles. Intel CPUs had all boost technologies active, while Ryzen CPUs were tested with PBO enabled and disabled. Results were averaged over three runs. The Ryzen 7900x scored 11,990 points in CPU-Z multi-threaded workloads, just behind the PBO-enabled 5950x.

In this segment, the video discusses the performance comparison of the Ryzen 7900x CPU to its predecessors and competitors. It highlights that the 7900x, with its increased number of cores, outperforms the previous generation by 26% and edges out the Intel I9 12900k by 5% in multi-thread workloads, though it is slightly behind in single-thread tasks. In Cinebench tests, the 7900x claimed the top spot with notable improvements, especially in multi-thread performance. However, in 3DMark tests, it did not surpass the 12900k or 12700k but showed significant gains over its predecessor. The CPU excelled in 3DMark’s CPU profile benchmark, dominating in multi-thread scenarios but not single-thread where the 7600x took over. The PC Mark test displayed unusual results, with the older 5900x outperforming expectations. In specific rendering tasks, the 7900x significantly reduced completion times compared to the 5900x and 12900k, though it fell short of the unlocked 5950x. In video rendering tests using Premiere Pro, the 7900x was nearly on par with the 12900k, with only a negligible difference.

In this part of the video, the 7900x CPU is highlighted for its significant performance improvements. The 7900x notably reduces render times and excels in various benchmarks including h.264 to h.265 encoding and handbrake, reclaiming top spots. It considerably lowers the completion times of tasks in Blender, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Far Cry 6, outperforming its predecessor and Intel’s 12900K in several instances. Notably, in gaming benchmarks like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Far Cry 6, and Metro Exodus, the 7900x shows substantial FPS gains. The 7900x also leads in Formula 1 2020 with impressive average FPS. The video further compares the performance of the 7900x against the 7600x, showing that while there are notable gains when utilizing multiple cores, single-core performance differences are minimal. The average performance uplift in various benchmarks for the 7900x over the 7600x generally falls between 1% to 10%, depending on the specific benchmark.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the performance comparison between the AMD 7900X and other CPUs, particularly the Intel 12900K and the AMD 5900X. The key points include a 25% performance uplift in benchmarks for the 7900X over the 5900X, while noting that the 7900X offers an 8% improvement over the 12900K in CPU-intensive tasks like video editing and rendering. The 7900X is highlighted as a strong performer, especially in tasks requiring high speed, although it only slightly outperforms in gaming. The speaker also mentions the benefits of the 7900X’s built-in encoder, which offers better value compared to Intel’s offerings. Additionally, the Eco Mode feature on the 7900X is explained as a way to reduce power consumption, albeit with limited impact on performance.

In this part of the video, the speaker tests the AMD 7900X CPU’s power consumption and performance. Initially, the 7900X uses about 180 watts during a Cinebench test, with its cores running at high frequencies. After adjusting settings in the BIOS to lower power usage, the CPU’s power draw drops significantly. The speaker highlights AMD’s Eco Mode, which reduces power consumption with minimal performance loss. Benchmark results show a minor decrease in performance across various tests, but in some gaming scenarios, performance remains unaffected or even improves slightly. The lower power usage also results in significantly reduced temperatures. The speaker concludes that the 7900X in Eco Mode offers excellent performance while being more power-efficient and economical compared to its Intel counterparts.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the speaker addresses some anomalies and unresolved issues with the Civilization 6 benchmarks for the Ryzen 7000 series, including the 7900x, and acknowledges that the results do not make sense. The speaker commits to providing updates once answers are found. The segment concludes with an invitation to viewers to watch additional coverage of the Ryzen 7000 series, specifically highlighting a focus on cooling solutions that can handle the 7900x, and thanks AMD and collaborators for their support.
