It looks like the Ryzen 9000 series is just a more efficient 7000 series with small IPC improvements (5-10%).

Either TSMC is not delivering in the power-performance curves with N5/N4 or AMD overreacted to power consumption concerns (which, given Intel's current woes and how they were burned by FX a decade ago, it's understandable).

From the few reviews I've been able to read (no videos for me yet), it feels like AMD has been too conservative with the power consumption of these chips, which clearly show in some tests where the 7700X/7600X are faster than the new parts.

Overall and ok product, and a good starting point for those jumping to the AM5 platform if the price is right, but a skip for Zen4 owners.

Here's a review roundup, for those interested: https://videocardz.com/184233/amd-ryzen-7-9700x-and-ryzen-5-9600x-review-roundup
