For single-threaded workloads like JetStream 2.0 within Mozilla Firefox there wasn't much benefit from the reduced cTDP levels since out-of-the-box their power draw here was typically low.

OpenVINO benchmark with settings of Model: Face Detection FP16, Device: CPU. Ryzen 9 7950X was the fastest.

But for the multi-threaded workloads is obviously where the lower cTDP values can make a significant impact on performance and power.

PyTorch benchmark with settings of Device: CPU, Batch Size: 1, Model: ResNet-50. Ryzen 7 7800X3D was the fastest.

For those more concerned about power efficiency, the 8600G/8700G at 35 and 45 Watt levels did help increase their performance-per-Watt in workloads like PyTorch.

TensorFlow benchmark with settings of Device: CPU, Batch Size: 1, Model: ResNet-50. Ryzen 7 7800X3D was the fastest.

Similarly, the performance-per-Watt went up sharply for these 8000G series APUs when running TensorFlow with 35/45 Watt settings.
