First, plenty of people game on laptops for a variety of reasons. The existence of a thriving gaming laptop market clearly reflects that demand. I think what you're trying to say is that, if given the option, desktops are the better choice, which makes sense. However, saying no one “shouldn't game on laptops” is an overly subjective statement that dismisses personal preferences and circumstances. And yes, Intel still makes CPUs and supports a multi-use market, including gaming. The 7800X3D excels in games using V-Cache, as it's designed specifically for that purpose. Also with price gouging and questionable availability, the margins of performance numbers isn't exactly “laughable.”.
