The impressive part is that it has IPC on par with Raptor Cove,

But isn’t that in only one single benchmark that they’ve shown? I’d wait for a range of benchmarks before judging it, power efficiency could also be a huge factor too.

Is there a reason why the 7800X3D beats the 7950X3D when it’s meant to be clocked lower? Is it a scheduling issue or something where the wrong cores are used? If CCX1 was disabled would the 7950X3D then become consistently better?
