In short, it’s fair to say we weren’t particularly impressed by the small increase in performance it offered over a range of benchmarks, but more so with the gaming performance.

The 9700X launched with a $360 price tag, which put it 24% more expensive than the current pricing of the Ryzen 7 7700X, the CPU that it was set to replace, and while pricing is a futile thing if the performance matches up, sadly that wasn’t the case, and typically, ourselves and other media…

Firstly, this is the counter-attack from Intel we’ve been waiting for, as the battle of the cores rages on. We saw Intel leap to 6 cores with their previous release on Z370 motherboards, and now they’re pushing the core count up to 8, putting it on par with that of…
