The actual real-life performance increase would be more interesting than just one synthetic benchmark.

So, you gain 13% for a 60% power increase. Not very good efficiency in CB atm.

More testing is needed (games and workloads) to be worth the 60% more power consumption, from my perspective anyways.

Let's hope it doesn't devolve into an ironic CPU degradation issue.

I haven't owned an Intel cpu since Ivy Bridge 3570K, but barring a total fluster cuck from Intel, I'm almost certainly going Arrow Lake and would take even 225K over the 9600X, let alone 245K(F).
