I think the 7800/7950X3D is a big leap from the 5800X3D. 2700x to 7800X3D probably feels like a console generation jump.

If you’re the type that likes to max out performance with your system by maximizing cooling, overclocking, tweaking memory, etc then Intel is probably what you want. Intel CPUs draw a lot more power than the AMD X3D cpus but they’re also capable of going quite a bit faster than stock if you can tame the heat and get fast memory to run.

I’m on a 7950X3D right now. It’s been so great so far but there’s not much you can do to get big improvements over stock performance. You could undervolt but there’s still a hard cap over the boost speeds. Some motherboards can allow more tweaking but it’s a lot of work. So even with great cooling, don’t expect much more than stock performance. AMD processors currently also don’t benefit much from faster than 6000 ram.

Steam deck needed this. The new handhelds were pulling in every where except for the touchpads. Wish that they had upgraded the processing power as well tho. DF has shown many new games are too “big” for the deck. Battery life js important but it would have been nice to have the option of more power when plugged in. At least this should put some major pressure on Lenovo and Asus to cut prices.
