I swear this is different from my last thread, but I can't be the only one who's noticed that there's basically zero discussion of this processor since the 9700X came out. For the same wattage, the gaming performance is super close, and in workstation tasks, minus a couple specific ones, it isn't THAT much of a leap, yet almost univerally I see nothing about this and only people talking about the 7700X. I even see a bunch of SFF people coming out of the woodwork to talk about how they wished they had the 9700X for how cool it runs compared to the 7700X. Did I just imagine that eco mode existed or that the 7700 non-x exists? I swear it was a big talking point last year about how efficient these non-x parts were yet they're only mentioned in passing in most reviews online and are nowhere to be found in YouTube comments or other forums I frequent. Even Hardware Canucks in the comments of their video on the 9700X replied to someone specifically mentioning the non-x with a comment about the 7700X instead and its heat output.
Please tell me I'm not going insane because it feels like I'm in a different timeline.
