Only one mention I've seen on this two Ryzen series was when they released it. Everyone is using either 5000 series or 7000 series and I didnt seen anyone really using it. So who use it?

Are the Ryzen 8000 and 9000 series good for gaming?
What is the difference between the Ryzen 8000 and 9000 series?
Do I need a new motherboard for the Ryzen 8000 or 9000 series?
I was trying to find out online but couldn't get a straight answer
From what it looks like all the 7000 series are more powerful
I am currently saving money and planning to buy a PC in June (the start of summer break). Should I wait for the 8000 series to get better deals on older-gen CPUs? I am currently planning on buying a 5600 CPU, but if the prices of 7500f drop, I am planning on buying that CPU instead. I understand that I have to buy a different motherboard and RAM instead of what I have planned. Is it worth it?
(First time building a PC)
I'm helping my girlfriend get her first PC together. I was always an Intel person but recently decided to change things up. I was looking over CPUs and everyone is talking up the 7800x3d like crazy for gaming but I initally figured going one generation back would be better than 2 generations back so I was looking at the 8000 series and went with a 8700F. After hearing about the x3D CPUs and the 7800 specifically I was looking around and realized the 8000 series has no x3D option. What's the story there? It's going with the 7800x3D gonna be a huge difference? Keeping in mind the 8700F I'd in the $200 dollar range where as the 7800x3D is looking a bit over $300 generally and we were initially trying to save a bit. So what's the move here yall think?
I am currently looking for a high performance Ryzen 9 7000/8000 laptop.
I was looking for the following specs:
CPU: Ryzen 9 (HX / HX3D variant)
Ram: 64-128 GB
Storage: 2TB nvme
Display: 15-17" 3k/4k MiniLED (preferred) or OLED. Something > 60 Hz would be nice but is not a must have.
The laptop will run Linux.
Should also have a decent keyboard.
I was wondering what the best options are right now and upcoming for a laptop with these specs.
I stopped being crazy about computers in 2021, because i finally got a pc and never had the money to upgrade. But now im ready to upgrade, and have two likely options for a cpu: 7700x and 9900x. the difference in price is 350 to 440 pre tax (usd) which seems way too good to be true, since thats around a 20% difference for a 50% core/thread increase. thats why im skeptical about my options. i mostly play fps games and a bit of other games on the side like black myth wukong, and im getting into cyberpunk later. ill be pairing it with either a 4070 super or 7900 xtx.
