Do you need a high end water loop to cool these monsters for max efficiency? I’d think that they would throttle fast even with high end AIOs.

It also depends on whether they’re evaluating games that use more than 8 cores. The 2 CCD latency penalty is probably a little bit overblown because even in the previous generations, 5950X/5900X beat the 5800X in quite a few games.
I think the 7800/7950X3D is a big leap from the 5800X3D. 2700x to 7800X3D probably feels like a console generation jump.
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.
I’m very familiar with this game. At 1080P, the 6700 XT is more than enough if raytracing is disabled. You don’t even need to use FSR. You could probably even use low raytracing settings and still be above 60 fps.
