I've got two nearly identical computers at home, one for me and one for my oldest kid. 14700K for me, recently built my daughter a 7800X3D rig with a lovely bundle from Microcenter.

I really don't like playing on the 7800X3D, because I am one who frequently tabs out into other windows, likes to multi task between turns or while I'm waiting to re-spawn in game. The 7800X3D and MS Edge do not play well together at all. It's maybe slightly better for gaming, but it's so so so much worse for multi-tasking. This is not unknown, but for some reason rarely talked about as a drawback.

Newegg has this for 699 but with free 360 mm AIO cooler

Newegg is trash ever since they sold out. They don't get my money.

Quote from shakedownbg :
one should do a good thoroughly research before buying this cpu. It is limited to use the 3D cache only with 8 cores, BIOS settings and Windows drivers to get it right most of the time. You will never use the 16-core in parallel with the 3D cache. Plus, you will benefit it only if playing games at 1080p which is 20 years old technology. I game at 4K and the graphics are absolutely beautiful on cs2 and dota2. Btw my pc is i8700k (6-core) cpu paired with 3090Ti FE and 64GB DDR4 ram @ 4GHz.My pc is a beast.
Some of this is false/hyperbolic. Gaming sees a benefit from the 3D v-cache at every resolution. People such as yourself see the bigger deltas between cpus in 1080p results (often used by reviewers to demonstrate gaming cpu hierarchy/stratification) and commonly reach this incorrect conclusion. 4k does lean more heavily on the gpu than the cpu, so the gains won't be as dramatic, but this is still a much better gaming cpu than your "good enough" several generation old setup. An 8700k WILL bottleneck a $3000+ 5090 (for example) and leave performance on the table. People who spend that kind of money on a gpu, typically don't skimp on the cpu and that's why there's always a market for a top tier gaming cpu. Whether that meets your needs is totally up to you of course, but there is no debate over whether this and the 9800x3d are the best gaming cpus on the market (at any resolution).

As far as parallel usage of the 3d cache and all 16 cores, it's pretty openly marketed to work this way. If someone needs to do massive multi-threaded workloads at the same time as gaming, there are other more appropriate solutions such as HEDT platforms. Those cpus wouldn't be very good for gaming though. This cpu gives you the tradeoff of having the best of both worlds, although not simultaneously, which is a much more common use case than someone needing a threadripper or xeon.
