It would be more fruitful if we (well, mainly you) stopped jumping around points.And what about short workloads? Those don't count when it comes to power usage?
And the gaming workloads are 100% long term workloads. The system hit ~650W in Hitman 3 for crying out loud. Almost 160W more than the 7950X and 200W more than 7950X3D. I don't think you understand just how huge that is.
Repeat after me: it used 200 more watts in a game.
I specifically said that measuring efficiency on workloads that are going to be running for hours for professional use cases is absolutely useless at 500w with no power limits, cause nobody that cares about efficiency runs like that. How does that have anything to do with gaming?
We can talk about gaming if you want, but let's first address the above point
