Amazing cpu! Was hesitant between this and a older one and Best Buy employees helped me to the right choice. Blazing fast and you can definitely feel the difference in power consumption

This CPU has great performance. It is quick on daily tasks and even games at a high level. Best Buy also price matched a competitor so it was an even better deal.

Huge upgrade from my ryzen 5 3600. This thing is a monster. Paired with a 9070xt I’m getting ~110 fps average WITHOUT FSR enabled on a 3440x1440 monitor

I bought the Ryzen 7 9700X from Best Buy and installed it myself, which honestly was a fun part of the whole build. First time dealing with an AM5 chip and it went in smooth, no problems there.
As for performance, it’s pretty solid overall. It handles gaming and multitasking well, and I haven’t had any major issues. But if I’m being real, I kind of expected a little more for the price. It’s not bad—just not mind-blowing either. I’d still give it somewhere between a 3.5 and 4 out of 5.
If you’re building a new rig and want something current-gen without totally breaking the bank, it’s a great option. Just don’t expect it to feel like a massive jump unless you're upgrading from something really old.

The Ryzen 7 9700-x has a good balance of performance and power( while maintaining efficiency). The single-core performance is also much improved from its predecessor(s). All in all great mid-range chip, just don't expect top of the line benchmarks!

I honestly would have gone to a higher specced cpu but for the price and the face my system died i could not refuse this cpu and motherboard upgrade especially since i was on am4 at the time. I am water cooled so it keeps the temps down and unlocking the 105W mode gave it another 11% performance boost!

Fantastic cpu hands down,
Better performance better single core slightly higher power usage but phenomenal. If your a hardcore gamer this is as good as 3D cache cpus but 4% difference in latency which is not measurable to eyes take the leap. A great choice for those who can’t reach a 3D cpu in stock the difference is so small I’d recommend this instead
