Fingers crossed for $150 before the end of the year ala $130 2700x several years ago.
A 5700x is comparable to an Intel -i7 12700. Five generations beyond your 7700K and faster and more powerful in every aspect. The 5700x could also take advantage of your 3080's ability to use PCIE 4.0 with the right motherboard.

hmm. i guess they are comparable because they all got 8 performance cores?

if you look at their performance, the 12700 is quite a bit faster than 5700x. it is actually faster than 5900x. thus the discount across the board because it doesn't make much sense value-wise at their MSRP.
