See my original post. I have an SFF case with a water-cooled 5950X+3090. That's already borderline for noise and thermals on a 240mm radiator, so an extra 100 W

See my original post. I have an SFF case with a water-cooled 5950X+3090. That's already borderline for noise and thermals on a 240mm radiator, so an extra 100 W for the 7950X would probably be untenable. But as people point out - more perf per watt would probably mean cooler performance in a lot of workloads. It'll be interesting to see what the ITX options are for AM5 anyway.
