AMD's top Zen 4 chip can hit 5.9GHz straight out of the box.
Even in Eco Mode, the Ryzen 9 7950X can't bring its performance per watt up to the levels of the Alder Lake chip. But Eco Mode is still one of the biggest wins for the new Zen 4 cores. The performance boost going from 7nm to 5nm is at its greatest at the 65W level, and that is highlighted by just how much faster the Zen 4 chip is, even locked to 65W, compared with the Ryzen 9 5950X. Honestly, if I'm running a Zen 4 chip in my rig, I'm going to be setting it to Eco Mode all the time.
I hope it does, because Eco Mode is one of the things which sets the Zen chips apart, and it's better than ever.Where does the new Zen 4 flagship chip stand in the CPU market? Today, it's the best chip for creators, and maybe even the best chip for creators who also game. But it's certainly not the best gaming CPU.
