 When Ryzen 7000 series was released, it made clear that they're the new top dogs. Even the cheapest of the bunch(Ryzen 5 7600) was trading blows with i7 and i9 of that time in gaming. So unless you had some specific use case for those extra cores of i7 and i9, there was no point spending more on those processors for a gaming PC.  BUT, the new AM5 platform had the Achille's heel of any new tech product; the cost of new technology. While a Core i7 and i9 were more expensive, they were available with DDR4 support, making the entire platform cost in less favour of AM5.
