To bring some context to the numbers, the Techspot review also claims better productivity, on par or better than the 5800X that uses the same power, and also better much gaming performance:

Meanwhile, TechPowerUp's review puts it using 16W more in productivity and 4W more in gaming than the 5600X.

Right now, the numbers change a lot from one review to another. I'd even say that they change too much, there's something not right.

All in all, from the little I've had time to read/see, I'd say that:

  • Productivity: 7000 is the best. No discussions here
  • Efficiency: 5000 series is still the way to go, apparently
  • Gaming: the 7000 series is better than the regular 5000 one, but when you mix the 5800X3d and Alder Lake, things get complicated. Varies from one review to another

So yeah, for those already on AM4, it's better to go 5800X3D if your mobo has had the update to do so. For Alder Lake users, no point changing. For anyone building a new system from scratch, AM4 is a dead end and we know Intels' s1700 only has Rocket Lake. AM5 is the only platform that has future, even if it's the most expensive.

Thats looks better they have the 7600X basically the same as 5800X3D in Power usage for gaming.
