yeah the 7000 series 3d chips are easily a multi gen equivalent upgrade over the 5000 3d chips, and i say this as a 5800x3d owner. unleashing the full power of extra cache and the full ipc of these chips is jsut awesome. hopefully next 3d chips have even more cache.
2700x to 7800X3D probably feels like a console generation jump.
I had the 8700k from those times till this year and it was a mind blowingly significant upgrade. A lot of vr titles were unplayable for me because of steamvr overhead(it’s really crap when you use non valve headsets). F1 23 went from a stutter fest to locked 90.
Although in case of f1, the devs were at fault too because the game is broken with extreme stutter unless you can lock to the refresh rate
The incremental cost of the 7xxx series is a lot larger.
the incremental cost of not buying RAM now while it’s cheap is going to be a lot larger too.
how long do you really want to be using that shitty 2018-era 16GB kit? are you comfortable riding it for another 2-3 years until RAM prices finally come down again?
people are about to learn a hard lesson about buying things when they are cheap. RAM prices in 2017 were triple what they were in 2016 (and not shitty kits either, by that point it was 3000C15/3200C16 kinda stuff).
I think the 7800/7950X3D is a big leap from the 5800X3D. 2700x to 7800X3D probably feels like a console generation jump.
Actually I was surprised to see the 5800x3d in the top half/quarter of most of the charts.

probably more than that honestly.

Yeah but 2700X to 5800X(3D) can be done on the same motherboard with the same RAM!
