Agreed, but just shouting out the brand new AMD 7900 non-x. 12 cores with a 65w tdp is pretty cool, if I was making a power efficient workstation or itx build right now that's almost certainly what I would use.


The non-x products make it clear that the “x” products are just way out of line on the performance/power scale.


The non-X line just obsoleted the X line due to PBO, as long as they're priced lower.


There's a setting in BIOS (PBO) that you can toggle to make the non-X perform just like the X. They're almost the exact same part, probably just binned a little higher.


Just buy the X and set the TDP for 65w in the BIOS..
