The 7700 is a 65W TDP CPU that's barely slower than the 7700X.
That the 9700X is 65W just means that AMD decided it wasn't worth it to squeeze an extra 1-2% performance.
OR hear me out, OR more plausibly the 7700X was already barely a 65W chip and the advancements from 7k to 9k pushed the 9700X well under the 65? Wouldn't you think that wouldn't make more sense than AMD just being lazy?
