You need to define the word struggle I think.
Chips like the 7700X seem able to run games pretty comfortably* to me. The 7800X3D runs games incredibly well. Second to only the 7950X3D

In gaming?
Those reviews that show the 7800X/X3D being so good are also using 100% clean systems with no background applications. Normal real use would see people have youtube, spotify, discord, few other applications perhaps running. This can tank 8 core performance in my experience.
If you're happy to close everything apart from one game then you can get away with it for longer I guess.
Yes, it used to be above 13700k now it's below.
That is not correct.
99+% of games can do 4 cores or less which is the sweetspot for games.
Only a few newer game engines that threads well benefit from 6 or 8 cores.
what matters are, ipc and frequencey and especially X3D technology for games.
dx9 had one single core and why today 2 core boosting usually is better overall for gamers.
anyhow, awaits the 8 core x3d tech upgrade next year from amd

6 core are fine lol.
Yea is it. A 6 core is still doing good. Even though we was told some 5 years ago it’s no good.
6th gen i7’s still game at 4k.
Not all games take advantage of 3d cache
With the 3d chips running slower I would think it’s the other way round.. and lower binned become 3d
Not all games
I'm talking about averages, with newer titles giving it a harder time.
Newer games are talking advantage of the faster ddr5 speeds and ddr5 is getting faster now it’s have some bedding in time.
It inevitably this will happen.
But the 5800x3d for the cost is still fantastic.
Both using ddr4 ? And showing 1080p with 4090 ? Think it's still good enough for a while yet

But in the real world I mean who buys 12/13th gen and uses ddr4.
There is no way I would move to a faster cpu then gimp it.. the guy is right the 13th gen is faster there is no two way about it.
True but it still has it's place, for someone just to drop in cpu without having to buy board / ram and still getting top gaming performance
I wouldn't buy if building from new
It’s a fantastic cpu. And if on a budget it’s still a good buy. And £40 used board can run it easy. And with 16gb of ddr4 need about £30. You can have a very good gaming bundle for under £300.
