A rumored TDP boost for Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X may not be enough to increase lagging sales
What will it take for these processors to ditch the Zen 5% meme?
Recap: The newly released AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X have garnered attention for their power efficiency and effective thermal management, debuting with a modest 65W TDP. However, the minimal performance gains over previous generations have drawn criticism, especially given their higher launch prices compared to the Ryzen 7000-series. Rumors now suggest that AMD might increase the TDP for these processors. If true, this change could enhance their performance, but will that be enough to boost their lagging sales?

Misleading comparisons and misconceptions
Recap: We got our first look at AMD's new Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X processors last week, and it's fair to say we weren't impressed with what we saw. That said, online reviews were very mixed, despite reporting similar performance data overall. There were minimal gains in games, with mixed productivity performance. But that mixed reception from reviewers left readers confused, with many asking the question: Are these new Zen 5 processors good or bad? It's a fair question, and the answer is, as usual, "it depends."
