Yes, but it’s likely that it will not be any better than this for gaming, and might even be worse if they go hybrid again

Is that the case with most 7’s and 9’s? I did see people recommend 7 more for gaming, but I couldn’t tell if that was just because it was a better price to performance ratio or if 7’s were objectively better for gaming.

Usually 9s are better than 7s due to higher clock speeds but since the ccx with the extra cache already ran at its limit there’s (or was) no room for improvement for x3d parts. And in zen4 only one ccx (half the cores) had extra cache in the case of 7900x3d and 7950x3d, making performance inconsistent
