I bought a 7800x3d, so I'm not in the market for a new CPU for years to come. If I hadn't already bought it, I'd buy it now.

    Ditto. 7800X3D is a beast for games and I don't give half a shit about productivity performance on my gaming machine. I got mine for around $350 early this year and I'm absolutely floored that it's now over $400. That's not the direction things are supposed to go.

    I think we may be in the last generations of x86's desktop and laptop dominance. All phones and now all Macs run on ARM-based chips and they do just fine while sipping watts, compared to x86's two big proponents both having faltering launches on their latest generations with ever higher TDPs where you only get more processing power by using more electrical power.
