AMD Ryzen 5 9600X & Ryzen 7 9700X Offer Excellent Linux Performance (www.phoronix.com)

The AMD Ryzen 9000 series starting with the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X launching tomorrow are some truly great desktop processors. The generational uplift is very compelling, even in single-threaded Linux workloads shooting ahead of Intel's 14th Gen Core competition, across nearly 400 benchmarks these new Zen 5 desktop CPUs impress, and these new Zen 5 desktop processors are priced competitively. I was already loving the Ryzen 7000 series performance on Linux with its AVX-512 implementation and performing so well across hundreds of different Linux workloads but now with the AMD Ryzen 9000 series, AMD is hitting it out of the ball park. That paired with the issues Intel is currently experiencing for the Intel Core 13th/14th Gen CPUs and the ~400 benchmark results makes this a home run for AMD on the desktop side with only some minor Linux caveats.

So is the windows scheduler to blame for the frankly poor results seen on windows. Like there were several instances where it was slower than the 7700x in the test suite used by Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus but clearly that is not the case in Linux.

I'm honestly in the market to build a new pc and leaving the one with my 7 3700X as a secondary.

Originally I was planning to get more cores but honestly staying at the lower wattage might be better.
