Quote from: paviko on July 19, 2024, 13:11:31Not bad, but also not great. Only above 80W it is slightly better than Zen 4. At 40W it is much worse. I don't get all this excitment. Especially it's desktop, just normal generation to generation improvment. Nothing to threat competitors...

These CPUs are not meant to be run at <100 or even 200W, and additionally, they are desktop CPUs, so that comparison is pointless. However, such a comparison would be VERY meaningful for mobile CPUs - even when they run at measly 5W you'd want them to perform comparitevly well because that means better laptop battery life.
