I couldn't quite understand why people were memeing on Zen 5. It's 5% performance increase while at much lower TDP, what is there not to like? Efficiency is plenty important. And even if we could see a 20% performance increase while using more power, is that worth it? What are the true benefits of a 20% faster CPU when considering pure gaming while we are already at the top of the spec sheet? The games where the difference would be a massive number of FPS are those like CS2 where you would go from 600 to 720 fps, does that truly matter? I like my pcs running as efficient as possible, that way I know they'll last longer.
To them it probably is. I've seen literal posts ( or GitHub comments - I forgot ) where they are raging their fps dropped from 420 to 370 with the latest patch and that the game is now completely unplayable!
They have a point complaining because the patch had a big fps drop, but the game is unplayable? At 370fps? Gtfo xD.
There's people playing on a lot less than that.
