I think the 7800/7950X3D is a big leap from the 5800X3D. 2700x to 7800X3D probably feels like a console generation jump.
yeah the 7000 series 3d chips are easily a multi gen equivalent upgrade over the 5000 3d chips, and i say this as a 5800x3d owner. unleashing the full power of extra cache and the full ipc of these chips is jsut awesome. hopefully next 3d chips have even more cache.
probably more than that honestly.
I'm so annoyed I let some friends that I thought were a little more knowledgeable talk me out of going AM5 a few weeks ago. Went from 3900X to 5800X3D in an unplanned upgrade because of bottlenecking with a 4090. Everybody told me don't go AM5 yet, it's not ready, and this first round isn't a big enough jump to justify the new board and RAM.
Now I sit here with an awesome machine that could have been awesomer for about €200 more and I'm really considering swapping up using the proceeds from selling off the 3900X/2080ti.
