Customers appreciate the computer processor's performance and efficiency. They mention it runs cool under 75 °C, runs at 5.49 GHz, and has good power efficiency. The faster RAM makes a significant difference in FPS. Overall, the CPU is great overall with a much better memory controller than its 7000 series counterparts.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 October 2024The AMD Ryzen 7 9700x is a fantastic processor. Now is it good as the 7000x3D, counterparts? No it’s not, but it does keep up well and the differences can be quite minimal from my experience. The CPU, runs cool and boosts well. Additionally has a much better memory controller than its, 7000 series counterparts. So you can achieve stable and coherent ram overlock. Mine is stable at 7000 MTS. Which is blazing fast, and with the faster ram you notice a sizeable difference in FPS. Additionally, it works well with a range of GPUs. I currently, use a RTX 4080 Super. They appear to be happily working together. I have tested it with an RX 7700XT and above.
I will say the con is the price, but it will undoubtedly drop in price. Overall I really like this processor, works well and does what you need it to do. I will advise, that you will need to enable PBO in the motherboard bios to get the full potential of this chip or any 9000 series chip. But there are plenty of YouTube tutorials that can support with that.
I hope this mini review helps and clears up some of the mystery of the 9000 series chips.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2025I bought this to power a multi-purpose workstation, and chose it because of its balance of price, performance and power efficiency. You can get better CPUs specifically for gaming, but if you're using your PC for a variety of tasks, including gaming, this CPU will more than hold its own. I paired it with a Thermalright Phantom Spirit cooler.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 January 2025Similar performance to the 7700x however at stock settings no oc max top 88wats, compared to 120 wats on 7700x or over 200 wats intel 14th gen,, this cpu has been seriously underrated by online reviews,, highly recommended

When you take into account other cpus, like the Ryzen 7 7700X, priced at around 260 ish, buying this cpu doesn't make a lot of sense. This is because, for the most part, straight out of the box the Ryzen 7 7700X (the predecessor) performs on average the same, if in some cases slightly better. At around 50ish gbp cheaper. Now, as far as I'm aware the whole reason why this cpu was actually released was beacause of the negative reviews AMD recieved for the 7000s series being so hot. This cpu does keep it cool, drawing only 65 W from straight out of the box, which matches the performance of the 7700X.
Now, there is a feature that enables you to draw more power to the cpu, if you enable the pbo option in the BIOS. When you do this, the cpu performs (I think around 10-15% better) then it originally did. This is good as it gives it a significant performance increase, which (I think) outperforms it's predeccesor. However, this does make the cpu run hotter, maybe not as hot as the Ryzen 7 7700X, but still in the mid 70s to the mid 80s (from what I've tested - Cinebench r24).
Now should you buy this cpu?
If the price stays at around 300 gpb, then personally, unless you use the feature that enables more power to be drawn, then I'd stick with the Ryzen 7 7700X as you're getting roughly the same performance for cheaper. (You would have to do a bit more research into the performance difference after you draw more power, compared to the Ryzen 7 7700X). If the price drops to the same price as the 7700X, then I'd say go for it, it's all around a good cpu and it's more efficient in power and core usage (I think) for a decent price. If you wanted to gain the best performance (exluding the 9800x3d, if you can find one then I'd get one of those instead lol) then I'd say spend the extra 100gpb ish and get the 7800x3d, it also has the 3d cache which will help future proof your system.
In conclusion, this is a good cpu but I don't think it's particularly good value, as you can definetly find better deals on the 7700X and the 7800x3d, which perform the same or better in games, but all round, this cpu is good and does perform well (it just doesn't really fit in).
EXTRA: I've also read that the RAM speed compatibility on this cpu is better than the 7700X, as overclocking your speeds is more stable when using the 9700X, which can be useful for many reasons.
First off, this cpu isn't half bad. When looking for good performance that can handle any game (with the right gpu) this cpu can be sufficient. It's only when you compare this cpu to it's predecessor and the x3ds that buying this cpu doesn't make a lot of sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stays cool, handles heavy work loads.
The Ryzen 7 9700X is an absolute beast. I'm incredibly impressed with its performance. It handles everything I throw at it, from demanding games to heavy multitasking. It stays cool even under intense workloads, which is a huge plus. I'm incredibly happy with this processor and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful and reliable CPU.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabuloso
Excelente procesador, su rendimiento es excepcional y sus temperaturas muy buenas, el único pero que le pondrÃa es el precio pero fuera de eso es una excelente compra. Tengo el procesador con un enfriamiento liquido de 360mm pero por lo que veo puede ir con un enfriador de aire pero de doble torre como el Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120
- Customer #1Reviewed in Canada on 7 December 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars does great for a budget workstation/gaming build.
I don't notice any dropped frames in any of the games I previously did, Photo editing, and photogrammetry in webODM/meshroom is much faster. runs cool and efficient, but can be overclocked easily in BIOS.
for pure gaming I would recommend X3D, but this one is great for mixed use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Décrié mais en vaut la chandelle...
Souvent critiqué par les gamers qui lui préféreront le 7950x ou ses homologues x3D, ce processeur est un excellent compromis entre puissance et consommation. Acheté pour une machine de précalcul tournant 24h/7j il assure en gardant une consommation basse. Ses performances sont acceptables et sa gestion des périphériques en PCIe est irréprochable. Vraiment satisfait.
