News MSI BIOS comes with a new 105W TDP option for the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X — user results show 13% multi-core performance improvement

Yes, AMD's 2024 chips can do what Intel 2021 chips did. Check the sig 😆

Smh.... You're just way to far up Intel to see anything else. I feel sorry for you bricking yourself in to one thing exclusively and thinking it means you can bash anything that doesn't live in your little walled up world.

But that's why opinions are opinions. Fact is AMD makes good CPUs and so does Intel. Either company's CPUs will make a damn good PC and not have any major issues.

One caveat, 13-14 gen Intel degradation and fixes. As long as one knows the gamble, they should be fine.

tbh makes em great long term when you might upgrade can just switch it to 65w and use it for a media server.

Right on, very good point! Home NAS has been on the rise in recent years. I'm about to start looking in on what it can do for me. I'm still pretty clueless as to what it is (a server for home) and if it's something I could use to help my daily life. I'm about to upgrade from a 6900hx based Mini PC and I might be able to use it for, or as, a server?

On the 35w intel cpu

35w good performance
50w 90% cpu
65w 100% cpu 5% (slower than the 65w same model boosting almost double)
The K series burn 4 5x more energy to get nice scores and no one know why the chip dies!

I feel that for most applications for me the speed coming from the new 65w versions being the same than the older 105W I rather have the 65W. if only the price would be closer to the old chips,

I think people have been extremely spoiled lately. The last couple of CPU generations has been filled with CPU's that do not care about power limits and instead focus on thermal envelops. Combined with the proliferation of decent cooling we get CPU's trying to pull more then double the engineered power. Obviously this is going to result in something eventually breaking, things did, and people got angry. Now AMD releases a CPU series that doesn't try to kill itself and instead wants to obey power limits, and everyone got angry.

Not sure if both crowds can be made happy and the demand of "I want my CPU to try to kill itself but not succeed" might not be tenable.
