basically
5nm vs 7nm
higher ram speed
more cores
almost double the passmark score
If you are in the market for an AMD system for gaming my advice is 7700x or 7800x3d. One CCD, plenty of cores, no scheduling issues and plenty fast enough for other stuff unless you are into heavy duty productivity apps.
There is no 7 series 7900 see en.wikipedia.org/wik…zen

I have been watching for a non-X price drop for months.
non-X saves at least 50-100W power draw, which adds up over the years if you are a heavy user. (edited)
Ignoring the IPC improvements, the power draw on my very old system is high. Yet, I still cannot afford the cost of this, a new motherboard, and the DDR5. (edited)
