The Ruilong 7000 series processors based on the Zen4 architecture have become popular in the market. Thanks to the advanced 5nm manufacturing process, the maximum frequency of the Ruilong 7000 series can reach 5.7 GHz, and even 5.8 GHz in practical applications. The performance is extremely powerful. However, Intel also later launched the 13th generation Core, which uses Intel 7 (10nm) technology to achieve the highest 5.8 GHz RF frequency. Therefore, most players are very concerned about the power and temperature performance of the latest processors in these two camps in actual use. After all, no one wants to use a "stove" all day and watch the processor overheat affect performance. Next, we will choose the Reeve 9 7950X and Core i9 13900K to compete in this respect.
Zen4 architecture has advanced technology, high energy efficiency and better temperature control potential
To compare the operating temperature of the two processors, the actual full load power and manufacturing process should be taken into consideration. The CCD part of the Ruilong 9 7950X uses the 5nm process, and the IOD part uses the 6nm process. Both are more advanced than the Intel 7 (10nm) process of the Core i9 13900K, so they have more advantages in energy efficiency ratio. As can be seen from the specification table, when the frequency is close, the maximum full load output of the Reelung 9 7950X is 230 W, while the full load output of the Core i9 13900K is 253 W. In addition, we can also see from the official default temperature wall that the Ruilong 9 7950X is 95 ℃, while the Core i9 13900K is 100 ℃. That is to say, the official believes that if the mainstream radiator is equipped, the upper temperature limit should be set to this position so as not to affect the performance of the processor. It can be seen that the theoretical upper temperature limit of the Core i9 13900K will also be higher.
Next, we use actual tests to compare.

Compared with the default settings, the Ruilong 9 7950X temperature power has more advantages
By default, the maximum full load temperature of Ruilong 9 7950X is 94.5 ℃, and the maximum power is about 227 W
The maximum temperature of the Core i9 13900K full load test machine has hit the 100 ℃ temperature wall, and the maximum power is up to 277 W
First, compare the Cinebench R23 test machine in the default settings. Both AMD and Intel platforms have unlocked the processor power wall, and each can achieve full blood output. From the data, we can see that with 360 water cooling, both of them basically reached the upper limit of their respective temperature walls. At this time, the maximum temperature of the Ruilong 9 7950X was 94.5 ℃, and the maximum temperature of the Core i9 13900K rushed to 102 ℃, and then fell back below the temperature wall, maintaining 99 ℃. In the full load power part, the maximum power of the Ruilong 9 7950X is 227 W, which does not exceed the official upper limit of 230 W, while the full load power of the Core i9 13900K has soared to 277 W, which has exceeded the official 253 W PL2 power. It seems that by default, the performance of the Ruilong 9 7950X in terms of temperature and power is indeed better than that of the Core i9 13900K.
However, this is not the best performance of the 9 7950X temperature and power. It has been some time since the official launch. During this time, many motherboard manufacturers have further optimized the automatic voltage and frequency regulation scheme for the power and heating characteristics of the Reelong 7000 processor. The BIOS has added the function options that can effectively reduce the operating temperature of the Reelong 7000 and improve its performance. We may also try.
Thanks to black technology, the Sharp Dragon 9 7950X cooling and overclocking are more powerful
Open the AI Optimized option in the BIOS of ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO
Taking the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO motherboard as an example, the BIOS provides the AI Optimized option, which further optimizes the power supply and frequency control strategy for the Reelung 7000 processor. After opening, you can select "performance mode" or "energy efficiency mode". Literally, you can understand that it is to focus on improving performance or focusing on energy efficiency performance.
In AI Optimized performance mode, the full load temperature of the Reelon 9 7950X is 79.9 ℃, and the power is reduced to 210 W
The first is AI Optimized performance mode. After using this mode, the maximum temperature of the Sharp Dragon 9 7950X in the Cinebench R23 test machine is reduced from 94.5 ℃ by default to 79.9 ℃ (it is very cool for the flagship U), and the maximum power is also reduced from 227 W to 210 W. Therefore, in AI Optimized performance mode, the Reelung 9 7950X not only significantly reduced the full load temperature and power, but also increased the score of Cinebench R23 multithreading by 814 points.
In AI Optimized energy efficiency mode, the full load temperature of the Reelon 9 7950X is only 79.6 ℃, and the power is reduced to 208 W
In AI Optimized energy efficiency mode, the full load temperature of the Reelung 9 7950X is further reduced to 79.6 ℃, the full load power is also reduced to 208 W, and the multi-threaded score is also increased by 578 points compared with the default setting. At the same time, we also noticed that under the default setting of our Reelung 9 7950X, some cores have a frequency of 5.5 GHz at full load, and the maximum frequency is 5.75 GHz. However, after the AI Optimized energy efficiency mode is enabled, all cores have a frequency of more than 5.675 GHz at full load, and the maximum frequency even reaches 5.85 GHz. This frequency setting is higher than the performance mode, so the single core score has also increased slightly.
From the perspective of Cinebench R23 multithreading score and full load power, the energy efficiency ratio of the Ruilong 9 7950X is 1.14 times that of the Core i9 13900K by default, 1.25 times in AI Optimized performance mode, and 1.26 times in AI Optimized energy efficiency mode. It can be seen that the energy efficiency advantages brought by advanced processes are very large. At the same time, we also see that after using the optimized settings provided by the motherboard, the full load operating temperature and power of the Ruilong 9 7950X are far lower than those of the Core i9 13900K, which means that players can have lower cooling fan speed, lower noise and better experience.
Conclusion: Fear of poor heat dissipation of flagship U? Then choose the Sharp Dragon 9 7950X to be cooler and quieter!
As can be seen from the front, the Ruilong 9 7950X uses the advanced 5nm+6nm manufacturing process to achieve ultra-high frequency while also providing excellent energy efficiency ratio, up to 1.26 times of the Core i9 13900K. With the further optimization of the motherboard manufacturer, the Ruilong 9 7950X has achieved a full load temperature and power far lower than the Core i9 13900K. The full load temperature of less than 80 ℃ is very cool for the flagship U, so the speed of the radiator fan can be kept lower, significantly reducing the working noise, and bringing a better use experience.
In addition, the Ruilong 9 7950X has an advantage of 1000 yuan in price compared with the Core i9 13900K. Depending on this, AMD platform can also choose a more high-end graphics card when installing with the same budget. As can be seen from the table, the total price of the Reeve 9 7950X with RX 6800 is the same as the total price of the Core i9 13900K with RX 6700 XT video card. But obviously, the game performance of this combination of AMD platforms is two grades higher, and the cost performance ratio can be said to be completely crushed.
In general, if you want to choose the flagship processor installation, the Sharp Dragon 9 7950X is undoubtedly superior to the Core i9 13900K in terms of energy efficiency, temperature control, and cost performance, which can bring better user experience.
