AMD Ryzen Eco Mode Deep-Dive & Benchmarks on R9 7950X (Zen 4)

Sponsor: Montech Sky One Lite on Amazon https://geni.us/sux2
AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs on Zen 4, including the R7 7700X, R5 7600X, R9 7900X, and Ryzen 9 7950X, have an optional "Eco Mode" feature in BIOS that can be enabled for power savings. There will be a cost to performance, naturally, but the goal is to minimize the negative trade-off and maximize the power savings (and reduction of heat). In this video, we're benchmarking the preset Eco Mode options (65W vs. 105W vs. Stock/170W) on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPU. The tests mostly focus on a focused list of parts -- namely, the new Ryzen parts -- with a few showings vs. Intel's i9-13900K CPU.
