@fastandfurious6 This you?

AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 vs. Ryzen 9 9950X vs. Ryzen 9 9950X3D Linux Performance Review - Phoronix

You know, if you enable eco mode on the 9950X3D it can be similarly efficient to strix halo's CPU even with the high desktop idle power cost.

I've got a strix halo mini PC and a 9950X3D desktop that idles at 100W and in testing unreal engine compiles and other UE multithreaded workloads, 9950X3D system in eco mode uses the same power at the wall and performs the same.

what is the eco mode on windows?

power mode set to "best power efficiency" ?
"energy saver" enabled ?
"quiet" laptop profile?
nvidia gpu "power management mode" set to Normal?
pcie express Link State Power Management set to Maximum Power Savings?
laptop "thermal drivers" installed?
manually disabling turbo?

too many knobs gets too messy

I see you're being intentionally obtuse. One single setting.

That's too messy, but you're totally fine with a laptop where you have to do all kinds of power management configuration all the time to get the best performance, or make it quieter, or maximize the battery life depending on how and where you're using it at any given moment.
