Also get 49fps in BG3, 119fps in CS2, and 41fps in Cyberpunk 2077 using the new AMD Ryzen 8700G, all without the need for an extra CPU cooler.

Oh, oh ok I thought one of the new Threadrippers is so powerful that the CPU can do all those graphics in Software.
It's gonna take decades to be able to render 1080p CP2077 at an acceptable frame rate with just software rendering.
It's all software, even the stuff on the graphics cards. Those are the rasterisers, shaders and so on. In fact the graphics cards are extremely good at running these simple (relatively) programs in an absolutely staggering number of threads at the same time, and this has been taken advantage of by both bitcoin mining and also neural net algorithms like GPT and Llama.
It's a shame you're being downvoted; you're not wrong. Fixed-function pipelines haven't been a thing for a long time, and shaders are software.
I still wouldn't expect a threadripper to pull off software rendering a modern game like Cyberpunk, though. Graphics cards have a ton of dedicated hardware for things like texture decoding or ray tracing, and CPUs would need to waste even more cycles to do those in software.
