>>Better thermals maybe? One of the biggest improvements to the Ryzen 7 X3D series (e.g. 9800) is that the caches have been moved from one side of the die (to the other), which places the major heat source closer to the heat sinks. SO

Honestly, this is a perfect use-case for the old MacPros (2009-2012) – particularly with the dual Xeon configuration [†] – they are notorious for their turboprop fans and exhorbitant powerbills . You can usually get one for free (or le
