ASRock Arc A580 Challenger

I still haven't seen anywhere selling any Arc A580s in Canada yet...

7700XT

Confirmed. I'm realizing I didn't mark it as "reference" in my data, because lack of a reference card, so it didn't get included in those charts.

Any opinion which 7700 XT model is a good replacement for "reference" ?

No matter with same frequencies?

That's part of the problem. All models available are overclocked. Sapphire Pulse is stock clocks but lower power limit. In this case it feels like a "slightly OC'd" card is a good representation of what to expect?

If there is data on what AMD understands as base frequency values, I guess for any branded model, such a profile can be set. Naturally at base frequencies, models with better cooling would show lower temperatures in the measured areas. Cooling can also be adjusted by lowering the fan speeds and thus bringing the temperature closer to what would be achieved in a reference model. As you noted, it is hardly significant in the results for models with small OC. Anyone can easily calculate the difference by subtracting the corresponding percentage of FPS or points from the synthetic tests from the result of the OC model.
Edit: Change misleads: Intel to AMD

such a profile can be set

This cannot be done on NVIDIA or AMD due to their boosting behavior

NOTE! Performance Tuning is not supported on APU Graphics (graphics integrated on a CPU) or AMD Graphics that are preinstalled in OEM systems.

This? Perhaps then it would be necessary to ask the specific OEM partner whose model You got or use Afterburner?

A lot of motherboards don't expose those settings

Mine does in a recent BIOS update last one before the new AGESA what I wonder is can my new 7900XTX use it …I pull like 150+ W from the wall at idle anything to lower it would be great.

My quote is from the AMD website. Indeed, in a previous comment I had mistakenly written Intel instead of AMD. I have no idea why, but I apologize in case anyone is grossly misled.

I still don't get how the quote applies here? 7700 XT is not an APU and not an OEM card?

I'm trying to figure out why this can't^

On AMD: you have two sliders, min and max. If you set Min MHz = X and Max MHz = Y, you will get Z MHz that varies wildly by no apparent mechanic. There is no way to set a specific single frequency, and the actual reference product runs with a completely different dynamic clocking behavior
On NVIDIA: you can set a fixed frequency offset, i.e. -100 MHz, but that affects both base and boost clocks, which isn't how the reference product works
