Tl;dr: "IT'S AMD, WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!"

I have the 9950x3D and have been pretty happy with it. Don’t do much, so it’s complete overkill right now, but I was building a new system, so I bought the future proof possibility.

Both CPU's are for production work, not games. If a person is not rendering any files through Adobe programs or multimedia editing, only play games on computers, both CPU's are a waste of money, especially 9950x3D. Buy a 9950x for production work. For games, stick with Core Ultra 7 or Ryzen 7 x3D.

There are many more uses for all those cores than the two that you mentioned, and some of us do those things and play games.

Running FFXI uncapped at 240hz is hilarious I can say. Got mine at Launch because lol tarrifs.
