Anandtech: The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X Review: Zen 5 is Alive

Last month, AMD launched their first processors using the Zen 5 microarchitecture for the mobile market via their Ryzen AI 300 series. Typically, with AMD Ryzen launches, we usually see the desktop parts come first, with the flagship model and then the mobile coming after. This time around, AMD has changed the dynamic of their release schedule with Zen 5 by launching the mobile chips first, which includes the Ryen AI 9 HX 370, which we reviewed last month. Today, Zen 5 on desktop has its turn, as AMD has launched two mid-range desktop processors, the Ryzen 7 9700X and the Ryzen 5 9600X.

eTeknix: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU Review

Today sees the AMD Ryzen 9000 series CPUs launching and AMD have done it in 2 parts with Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 reviews going live today and Ryzen 9 parts going live a little later in the month. We’ve managed to get our hands on the Ryzen 7 9700X, a CPU that comes in with the same core and thread count as its predecessor, the 7700X, as well as being 700MHz….slower. This, should be interesting. Ok, so first things first. I want to address the elephant in the room. You may or may not have seen that we posted

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X boasts a robust eight-core design and exceptional single-threaded performance with great power efficiency. In our review we saw good gains with PBO overclocking and TDP increases. Unfortunately, the $360 price tag is steep, and there are several good alternatives available.

LanOC Reviews: AMD Ryzen 9600X and 9700X

This year at Computex AMD announced the next generation of their Ryzen CPU lineup, the 9000 series which is built on the Zen 5 microarchitecture. They announced four different CPUs, The Ryzen 5 9600X with 6 cores, the Ryzen 7 9700X with 8 cores, and then two Ryzen 9 CPUs, the 9900X with 12 cores and the 9950X with 16 cores. AMD was originally launching these at the end of July but they did push things slightly with the 9600X and 9700X hitting stores on the 8th and the 9900X and 9950X hitting stores on the 15th. So today I will be checking out the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X to see what they are all about ahead of that store launch. Let’s dive in!
