Why do people use M for Megabytes?
Right they should use 🅱 for Biggabytes (the hierarchy being byte < bigbyte < biggabyte < biggestbytes)

#12Does 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…
Yes, its very minimal though, and AMD makes more "balanced" CPUs with an IGP that might work with your existing motherboard.
The 3 die chips like this are probably not the best choice for passive cooling, as they burn a lot of power on interchip communication.

Yes, it has an iGPU like all 7xxx desktop Ryzen CPUs. But the GPU has only 2 RDNA2 CUs compared to 96 RDNA3 CUs in Radeon RX7900XTX, or 80 RDNA2 CUs in RX6900XT. For example, mobile Ryzen 6800H has 12 RDNA2 CUs. So it is fine for desktop use like the Intel (non XE) iGPUs.

#15> 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 g…
I was also really curious about Linux benchmarks; and seems like Phoronix, a Linux-centric tech review outlet, also released their own reviews with tons of game and productivity benchmarks running on the latest kernel. https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-ryzen9-7950x3d-linux

They probably do use a list of known applications + some heuristics around graphics APIs? "List of known games" is pretty much what their graphics driver team handles as their bread and butter, so doesn't seem like a significant stretch.

#18The inflation has really hit the consumer market... 700$ for CPU and over thousand for GPU... Memory is not cheap either...
Not that it won't sell, but still these price points for something still called consumer start to be high. You could get a whole portable PC for same money.

Almost certainly not, but you can use custom Aniancy-CPP rules to do this yourself on linux.

#20Wow basically the same pref as a 13900k but so much less power usage in the aggregated tests.
Apps : 79w vs 169w
Games : 56w vs 143w
