Yes, however the big ticket item everyone’s gunning for is the fancy new GPU to play the fancy new game. If it’s a choice between the two it’s the GPU almost every time for consumers. E.g., Cyberpunk 2077, at launch people down to Haswell i7s could run the game, but anything below Pascal really struggled, leading to the first massive wave of shortages in Ampere and RDNA2.
