>>The vast majority of people building PCs would never build one if there wasn't others telling them that it's the better way because your bideo game will be faster if you build it yourself.

That's how we got here and why the #1 selling CPU is $500

When it comes to X3D I get the point, it's easily the best CPU for gaming and several games benefit greatly from the extra pool of cache on the CPU. TR is its own thing completely too, a shitload of cores and PCIE lanes for real workstation applications. But before X3D yeah I didn't really get it either. Just look at Zen 5 sales. They were all calling it Zen 5% and a disaster launch with terrible sales until the 9800X3D changed everything. Even AMD didn't see it coming. It's a lot on Intel themselves for fucking up 3 gens in a row so badly.
