#3Does this 7950X3D have an iGPU?
P.S: the table in TFA lists the 7700 as having the same 105W as the 7700X. I think that's a slight mistake and the 7700 is 65W max listed TDP instead. FWIW I'm considering a 7700 for I'm not ultra happy with my 3700X (one of the reason being it has no iGPU and I could find a passive GPU with a NVidia chipset, forcing me to use proprietary drivers in Linux and it's a major PITA for if I hack on ther kernel I then need to apply the NVidia patches every time)

You can find some passive rx550 and rx560 which work great on Linux with OSS drivers.

Yes [1]! IIRC the iGPU is located in the I/O die [2] which is pretty much the same in all their consumer SKUs (so I don't expect any changes in either memory controller or the iGPU for their X3D models).

#8I wish they'd included the results of the undervolted 7950x in the graphs (aka ECO mode)
It's sad that performance benchmarks have made market conditions where the gain of 5% performance is somehow worth 20%-30% extra power consumption (and the noise that follows from that)

Thanks for pointing out the error in the specs table, I failed at copy paste, fixed now ;)

#10> To make sure gaming workloads find the right CCD, AMD has implemented a high degree of software-level control, in the form of its 3D Vertical Cache Optimizer Driver, which is included with the latest version of AMD Chipset Software. This driver ensures that workload from games are directed to the CCD with the 3D Vertical Cache using dynamic "preferred cores" flagging for the Windows OS scheduler.
Yeah, what about games on Linux? I'm pretty sure it will be scheduled all over the place.
Also I doubt that scheduler is smart enough to detect it dynamically. Do they just use a list of known applications for that?
