It’s impossible to keep my 5800x below 90C under full load.
In general, buying a power-limited desktop CPU has never been a good strategy to get better efficiency. You can always configure the full-power chip to only use that extra headroom for short bursts, and to throttle down to what you consider acceptable for sustained workloads.
The 7000 series is designed to hit those loads, i wonder how your 5000 series can even reach that.
in the past, growth in PC gaming came naturally with the growth in the adoption of computers around the world.
at saturation of "new to computers" audiences, growth in PC gaming comes from convincing the core gaming demographic, newly-turned 13 year old boys, to agitate for PCs instead of XYZ.
so a big part of it is the retail-marketing experience - the aesthetics of buying - and scalping / sense of urgency plays extremely well with the buyer who actually chooses PC over a nintendo switch, as opposed to a kid who will never make the more expensive choice ever.
this is really a story about saturation than it is about hardware or shortages for AI usage or whatever.

This is absurd. "Average quoted" on ebay does not mean anything, neither dors their claim of "highest selling" which is "highest listed". Nobody is buying at these prices.
People buy the lowest priced (incl. Shipping) with modifiers for professional>private, seller review rating, location and picture/description quality.
