note: these are general numbers I gathered from watching an LTT video, GN I think saw closer to 50C for non-X (to be expected, though, different ambient temps, different testing methods/cases/etc, there will be variation)

Prime95 Small FFTs, 100% CPU load
Temps:
Ryzen 9 7900 - 41C average
Ryzen 9 7900X - 85C average

Even at its worst, the 7900 is like 80% of the performance of the 7900X. Imagine using 1/3 less power and HALF the heat output and getting 80%+ of the same performance.

@tully ah yeah that's an obvious point i missed. very frustrating that at least on some channels it really kills the quality of the videos (GN is still great though).

Ryzen 9 7900 gets 95% of the performance of the 7900X while using 66% of the power.

This further proves the point that chip makers are letting their chips run unnecessarily hot and wasting power for mere ounces of performance. This causes unnecessary heat generation, cooling requirements, and noise too.

Massive energy expenditure for diminishing performance returns annoys the hell out of me. Need more products that default to silent, cool, and efficient because the performance gap is negligible. Let enthusiasts overclock but stop putting out wasteful defaults.

Propagandhi never really clicked for me music-wise until tonight. Not sure why it randomly just settled into where my ears really enjoy it. Always loved the band from a political/philosophical standpoint but found their work harder to grok... maybe it's the very unorthodox ways the lyrics are written to the music (less patterns/rhymes/etc) and so my brain kept having its expectations subverted to the point where it was difficult to listen. Until now...
