Posted September 27: Get AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Processors in Canada
Leap into a new generation at Best Buy, where all-new AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Processors are now available in Canada.
Originally released on September 27, the 7000 Series is AMD's latest-generation of desktop processors built on their Zen 4 architecture, with improvements including better gaming performance and support for bleeding-edge technology like DDR5 memory.
- AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core 4.7GHz AM5 Processor - $409.99
- AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core 4.5GHz AM5 Processor - $549.99
- AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core 4.7GHz AM5 Processor - $749.99
- AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core 4.5GHz AM5 Processor - $949.99
NOTE: all AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors use a new AM5 CPU socket and DDR5 memory, both of which are not backwards compatible with previous-generation AM4 motherboards or DDR4 memory.
For reference, Best Buy's pricing is at MSRP and slightly less than other retailers like Canada Computers and Newegg.ca, where list prices are up to $20.00 higher.

We Found Problems: AMD Ryzen 5 8600G & R7 8700G APU Benchmarks & Review
https://youtu.be/MFzegmwHxPM
for reference https://www.vuugo.com/product/amd-ryzen ... 8053939762
First the 8000G "Phoenix" APU don't support PCI-E 5.0 it's using PCI-E 4.0. That's not terrible by itself but added onto of that the number of PCI lanes have been drastically reduced to 14 or 10 usable (more on that later).
Anyone who wants to use a dedicated GPU with these in the future might not get the maximum performance because the Phoenix APU only has a PCI-E 4.0x8 interface for dedicated graphics.
Wait it gets worst.... that's only for the two top end 8700G and 8600G that use only the Big Zen cores. The lower end models that have some ZenC cores only have a PCI-E 4.0x4 interface for dedicated graphics. That is totally not acceptable nowadays... remember the blowback that AMD got when they released the 6500 video card with only PCI-E x4? Now any GPU you attach will suffer the same fate.
A little less bad is on storage. You get two M,2 slot but one is giimoed to x2 lanes.
Slot 1, PCI-E 4.0 x 4
Slot 2, PCI-E 4.0 x 2
With these limitations these APUs might do alright for system integrators but enthusiasts should avoid.

[Canada Computers] AMD Ryzen 5 7600 6-Core/12Thread 5nm ZEN 4 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler - Socket AM5 $309 5.2GHz boost, 65W
Intel 10nm density is on the order of 10% worse than TSMC 7nm, while it's about 100% better than TSMC 10nm. It's closer to TSMC 7nm in density and performance, hence why they renamed it to "Intel 7".
In all honesty, as someone who works in this industry, this stuff is all BS and meaningless to customers. All customers should care about are the product performance and efficiency regardless of what process node the product is manufactured in. This stuff is interesting for semiconductor companies who are designing this stuff and competing against each other, but to the common consumer who don't understand the nuances behind it? It's meaningless.
AMD's New $230 Ryzen 5 7600 CPU | Review & Benchmarks (ft. PBO) from Gamers Nexus
AMD's new Ryzen 5 CPU is a 7600 non-X, which is cheaper than the 7600X, lower power, and basically has Eco Mode pre-applied. It gets most the performance of the 7600X, but for a lower cost. The closest competition is AMD's own 7600X, then Intel's 12600K, and on the higher side, the 13600K (but that's closer to the R7 7700 in price). We have two separate reviews coming up for the R7 7700 and R9 7900. Testing includes comparisons with PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) on the 7600, making it similar to the 7600X.

Bought AMD? You got played – Ryzen 7000 non-X Review from LTT
AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series cranked up the power draw, but had performance to match. Now that the non-X chips are out with limited power draw, did AMD accidentally play themselves – And you?

Edit - and the new 13400F cpu looks likely to compete with the 7600X.

Intel reports a density of 100.76MTr/mm2 (mega-transistor per squared millimetre) for its 10nm process, while TSMC's 7nm process is said to land a little behind at 91.2MTr/mm2 (via Wikichip).
Basically ur buying up buffed civic with turbo engine with 10nm vs tesla with 7nm, the former might beat the more quiter and cooler later
Dont get me wrong, i have some intc shares but theyve been misexecuting..
Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake at a glance
Raptor Lake is the codename for Intel's next-gen family of 13th Gen processors for desktop and laptop PCs. These chips are based on the same 10nm manufacturing process (confusingly marketed as Intel 7) as the 12th Gen Alder Lake.Dec 20, 2022
That's not a bad idea, I'm concerned that AMD didn't release pricing on the X3D chips... might be stupid expensive.
Was saying at the time I was looking, B650 wasn't out, AMD was cheaper so overall cost was a wash between DDR5 platforms. And benchmarks did show a performance difference going DDR5 in some cases.
MSI B650 Tomahawk is $350
That's absolutely unacceptable. The extra $150 you're spending on the motherboard is literally going to waste because it's not giving you any additional performance or useful features. That's $150 you could be spending toward a better CPU or GPU.
DDR4-3200 $100
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/products/me ... Z=32768002
DDR5-4800+ $170
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/products/me ... 000&page=1
And yes per previous post you can use DDR4 on 13th gen but I would suggest making the jump to DDR5, for the $70ish difference.
