As an Itx user, I'm more focused and or interested in power consumption and heat output figures. I'm looking at a ryzen 3700x with rated 65W TDP and a newly announced X570 chipset with it. 330USD and 250USD respectively. I check review sites and not only it does not compete with even an i7 9700k for around the same price in games but it uses more power and more heat. Considering I can get a z390 Itx MB for around 150 USD. It does not even make financial sense.I just have to dish extra 30 USD on a cpu cooler which will match AMD offering and there are some cases that even boxed AMD coolers won't fit.so they have to as well. Then I check more into the review what do I see? Boost not boosting accordingly to the product specs and tons of software and bios issues to go with it.and all this for what? For around 10% more performance and power efficiency gain from one gen older 2700xband this is all with much hyped 7nm process.If I was a serious AMD fan I would make my feelings known to the company.I won't even bother with the GPU side. 2060super consumes less power than rx5700. 2070super consumes less power than rx5700xt.and again 7nm process tech....so you can call me Intel fanboy or whatever but it wont change the facts...
x570 for ITX is pointless. And the 3700x will definitely still use less power than a 9700k. Some of those figures upthread were total system power draw, the CPU specific power draw tops off around 90-100 W.
