    News AMD Ryzen 9 9950X Engineering Sample gets a full suite of Blender benchmarks at various TDPs, showcasing major efficiency improvements

    Other websites have plotted the curves as bit_user demonstrated. Yet you still cherry pick, you claim "cults" and "myths" and anything but acknowledge reality. I swear you guys are spawns of Userbenchmark at this point. You guys don't need a fact check, you're beyond that. You guys need...

    News AMD Ryzen 9 9950X Engineering Sample gets a full suite of Blender benchmarks at various TDPs, showcasing major efficiency improvements

    Then let's replot the results, see if it changes anything. :) New predicted 140W results: 32324 VS. the 31882 A discrepancy of 1.4%... Source: View: https://imgur.com/TSV6Sg9 Edit: I'm doing my best to keep the sarcasm out of it, but it's so hard at this point... Surely a mere 1.4%...

    News AMD Ryzen 9 9950X Engineering Sample gets a full suite of Blender benchmarks at various TDPs, showcasing major efficiency improvements

    It's also much slower in that configuration. A stock 7950X3D consumes 140W in MT ( source: https://tpucdn.com/review/amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d/images/power-multithread.png ), if both have the same points per watts and the 14900K is at 125W, it means the 7950X3D is faster to finish the task by...

    News AMD Ryzen 9 9950X Engineering Sample gets a full suite of Blender benchmarks at various TDPs, showcasing major efficiency improvements

    While I agree that earlier generations of Zen certainly had an idle power consumption issue and Intel was vastly superior, this is a thing of the past. OC3D.net total system idle power consumption data...

    News Nvidia's RTX 40 Series GPUs land shockingly near MSRP pricing - Here's all the models we can find so far

    What's shocking is that this is 15 MONTHS after the first 40 series release ( October 12 2022 ). Usually you used to have great bargains way below MSRP by that point in a gen lifecycle.
