So is the windows scheduler to blame for the frankly poor results seen on windows. Like there were several instances where it was slower than the 7700x in the test suite used by Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus but clearly that is not the case in Linux.

I don't think it's the scheduler this time with a single CCD, but there is significant difference. These tests focus on compute and productivity with almost no games, so most of the difference could come from this bias. Another possible option is the power profile (EPP balance_performance) holding back the 7700x on linux.
I'm honestly in the market to build a new pc and leaving the one with my 7 3700X as a secondary.
Originally I was planning to get more cores but honestly staying at the lower wattage might be better.
Huh. AMD is really going for the throat in the consumer sector - better hardware, no currently apparent lithography issues, and lower price. Good for them.
I hope Intel can eventually figure their shit out, but I see that requiring completely dumping most of their leadership/c-suite, which almost certainly won’t happen.
