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

GPU prices have gone insane though with mid-range having somehow moved up to $400-$500 where high-end was a decade ago.

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.

I vaguely remember that the iGPUs in the 7000 series had some trouble with Linux support. May be wrong, but do look into that. Might need a bleeding-edge kernel and mesa.
AnandTech sees some intriguing regressions on certain benchmarks, https://www.anandtech.com/show/18747/the-amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d... ( "CPU Benchmark Performance: Simulation" ) Worst is Factorio, which is down -47% against the 5800X3D (a previous-generation CPU that also uses stacked L3 cache), on the benchmark "10K trains". Wonder what's going on there? - "We would have expected higher performance in our Factorio bench…

Is this a real thing? Is it available on Linux? Or am I sticking with Intel?

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

Assuming your motherboard has video outputs it'll be much cheaper to stay on AM4 and throw in a 5700G
