![]() One nice thing about the AMD Ryzen series is that overall power utilization remains very reasonable. ![]() Already for audio and video editing work, as well as some software testing, I actually can't complain about the current 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is currently less than US$190, 8-core, 16-threads, 7nm process, released in early 2022, TDP only 65W.įor the Workstation, I was tempted to go with the latest and greatest Ryzen 9 7950X or the Intel i9-14900K but could not justify the need for a new motherboard and DDR5 RAM. Well, the Intel i7-3770K I was using is just ancient (launched mid-2012, using DDR3 RAM) by computer standards, so why not? In 2023, might as well at least update the CPU to go beyond current high-end game console standards of the PS5 and XBOX X which are about the speed of a slower Ryzen 7 3700X by most estimates. As has been my usual fashion for years, I'll move my Ryzen 9 3900X ( previously discussed) over to the office and update the Workstation I use at home which sees more CPU usage.Īs for the Gaming computer. My justification for the Workstation CPU upgrade was that I was in need of an update to my work computer which for the last few years has been the old first-gen Ryzen 1700. And since it has been ages, I also updated my Gaming PC in the living room for the heck of it to the Ryzen 7 5700X. However, I upgraded my Workstation computer recently to the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU - 16-cores, 32-threads I found at a decent price. The trend isn't as obvious with CPU prices.
