This cpu may jave 8 cores less than the 14900k, but the 14900k has 16 e cores wich are useless most of the time, while only having 8 p cores. The ryzen has 16 p cores, so its better for gaming and content creation. Benchmarks dont mean everything when comparing 2 cpus. Most benchmarks are going to rate higher the 14900k just because of the e cores. I recomend the ryzen 9 oner the i9 because the am5 platform will live longer than the lga 1700 platform, and prices are low on the amd side. The price cuts are crazy.

Pros

  • -better performance in games
  • -lower tdp
  • -Higher multyplier
  • -lower temperatures
  • -lower price
  • -longer lasting socket

Cons

  • -scores less on benchmarks
  • -400mhz slower ram speed
  • -less ,,cores,, i'd still say to not count e cores but whatever

Has integrated graphics
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
Intel Core i9-14900K
With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
CPU temperature

89 °C

100 °C

If the CPU exceeds the maximum operating temperature then problems such as random resets can occur.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
