I don't think the workstation argument makes sense considering Intel is offering 8 extra e-cores against 7600x/7700x at a similar price point. The 13900k can also out perform the 7900x in workstation but the power that thing requires starts to really come into affect due to it's 16 extra e-cores. So for Ryzen 7000, 7900x and 7950x starts to make sense for content creation workloads. Otherwise people are simply spending a lot of money just to be slower in almost every workload. Sometimes by 30-50% depending on the workload. Not to mention, Intel has Z690 boards which has PCI-E 5 for GPU for the price of B650 boards and imo, no one should be "upgrading" to PCI-E Gen 4 a motherboard since that's last gen tech which AM4 has.

Ryzen 7000 simply doesn't make any sense for sub 7900XT users against Intel.

I think you misunderstood me.

I was not saying that the base 7000 would make more sense than Intel's new offerings for professionals or Prosumer, I was just saying that for those guys, waiting for the X3D version doesn't make much sense, as it doesn't improve on their workloads and as a result just costs more money than the base 7000 chips.

Ah I see, yea that makes sense
