Looks like AMD told reviewers very late that core parking stuff (PPM drivers) that was needed for higher core count X3D CPUs on the 7XXX series, are required for non X3D CPUs now.

Steve from Gamers Nexus is even saying that a further CPU upgrade will need a windows reinstall, as per AMD! Both these points make windows seem like an operating system from the stone age.

This probably gives another hint to why AMD was performing good on Linux as per Phoronix.

Only for dual-CCD chips. 7800X3D is single-CCD.

Can we conclude that at least for next one year, 7xxx CPUs are much more VFM than 9xxx CPUs?

AMD is an expert at reducing prices after getting scolded in early reviews. So we can wait for price cuts.

Won't be so fast or big unless Arrow lake is better price/performance and efficiency.
Because both 7000/9000 are on the same am5 platform and 7000 series is still selling good.
So yeah , price cut is inevitable but how big ? Depends upon the Arrow lake launch
