AMD Ryzen 7 9700X Review: Core i9-14900K levels of single-core and gaming performance with Zen 5 for US$185 less

[Redaktion]

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X leverages improvements in the 4 nm Zen 5 architecture to offer excellent single-core and gaming performance on par with Intel's best 14th gen offerings, including the Core i9-14900K. While the Ryzen 7 9700X's efficiency gains make for a potent gaming PC build, AMD's current pricing strategy complicates buying decisions vis-à-vis the competition.

And even more burned cpu sockets in motherboards.

And even more burned cpu sockets in motherboards.

Only if you're using ASUS who was making BIOSes with out of spec settings.

Even though I intend to go with a Zen 5 system next (but probably 9950X), that is a grossly misleading headline which will make me doubt all of your reviews in future.

The headline only says it offers 14900K "levels" of single-core and gaming performance. That is true when you average out results from several benchmarks/games.
It doesnt say the 7700X beats or surpasses the 14900K. Not sure why you think that is grossly misleading.
