It’s a shame Windows is still so far ahead for game compatibility. Feels a shame to pair such a nice CPU with such a bloated OS.
Everything else? Not so much, thanks to the monumental effort of Wine and Proton projects.

Actually it would be very interesting to know how it performs for AI and whether it has a better value.
I understand where you are coming from. But as a gamer who hasn't been able to make a significant upgrade to my rig in 6 years due to memory price and redirected processor engineering funding (all of it due to AI), it really bother me.
A shame the x3d cache parts lack integrated GPUs. The extra cache could be handy for inference with smaller models.
I wonder what perf. this cpu can get in bit/ternary inference, and whether the 512AVX units(or whats it's called on AMD), get throttled.

People buying gaming CPUs tend to not really want iGPU taking away thermals, so it makes kinda sense?

"Far ahead"? DRM'ed spyware, yes. Everything else? Not so much, thanks to the monumental effort of Wine and Proton projects.
Already down to $280 https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/1uz0grn/cpu_... Honestly (apart from the general hardware parts pricing crisis) the problem is that you can get the 7800X3D for almost the same price or just slightly more. Especially if you have a Micro Center nearby you. But it's not bad if you can find a good combo deal with a mobo and RAM, https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=4812%204019%204020%204021&…
> Especially if you have a Micro Center nearby you Do they have stores in every state? Even assuming they have, seems fair to assume maybe just 3-4% of people actually have a Micro Center close enough to visit, oddly specific tip :p

Caches take die space. GPU takes die space. People buying gaming CPUs tend to not really want iGPU taking away thermals, so it makes kinda sense?

If you play AAA games with kernel anti-cheat then Wine and Proton are basically non-starters. Cant sidestep that a vast majority of people want to play those games.

Kernel-level spyware, and Wine/Proton are the non-starters?
I don't think you and the person you replied to will reach an agreement.
