Really? Gaming benchmarks for Ryzen 7000 seem to be pretty much flat across the board, with minimal gains upwards from the 6-core 7600. Which games are you thinking of?

Asus has become fucking awful these past few years, they’re turning into the Alienware of the DIY world. All marketing, no substance.

Do you have the boards as well? I recently tried to pick up a Xeon for my homelab and finding the boards was a way bigger problem than the CPU.

I know what sub we’re on, but aren’t the X3D CPUs significantly better in MSFS?
