Temperatures and clock rates
I deliberately put this section on the last page because otherwise nobody will find it again. The Ryzen 5 9600X is somewhat easier to cool than the Ryzen 5 7600X and I will certainly write more about this next week in connection with the larger models. The CPU is thermally rather inconspicuous and there is something about the technical solution in the deep dive on page one. Even under load, my sample boosted often enough up to 5.4 GHz and thus also meets the specifications. Overclocking is also possible, by the way, but probably not much more than 5%, because that always depends on the respective sample anyway. But still…

Summary and conclusion
After testing just a single (small) SKU, it is hardly fair to say where Ryzen 9000 can generally be classified. But at least a trend is visible. If you consider the up to 5 percent increase in performance compared to its predecessor together with the slightly lower power consumption, it is certainly progress, but not yet a real revolution. More tests are needed for that. We will perhaps see that next week, when it comes to applications and other real benchmarks. This is precisely why there is no Cinebench race today, because it would simply be too one-sided. I’ll end the whole thing today, because half a launch is only enough for half a conclusion.
By the way, because the price is of course also an important topic: AMD has set the RRP for the Ryzen 5 9600X at an impressive 309 euros. The current Ryzen 7 7600X, which is only 3 to 5 percent slower, currently only costs around 190 euros, i.e. 120 euros less! Even the Ryzen 7 7700X with 2 more cores and usually a very slight performance boost costs significantly less at around 285 euros. Well, an RRP is not set in stone, but with price targets like this, it’s better to go for the old generation, at least in this performance segment. If the Ryzen 5 9600X does not drop by at least 50 to 70 euros, it will hardly be able to assert itself as long as the significantly cheaper Zen4 CPUs are still available. A Ryzen 7 7800X3D only costs 50 euros more, but is already playing in a completely different league, namely at the very top. One more reason to wait and see.
The Ryzen 5 9600X was made available on loan by AMD, just as the current Ryzen models have already been largely sampled by AMD. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D and all older Intel CPUs are from my private stock and were purchased myself, as was the Core i7-14700K, which died far too soon. The motherboard and memory were purchased from MSI and Corsair and, like the CPUs, were only made available on the condition that the embargo periods for these products were observed. There was no direct or indirect influence or compensation for expenses.
