I upgraded to the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D from the Intel Core i9-14900K, and it was the best upgrade I ever made

Here's an article from a verified site that "Distinct-race" trusts and uses daily. I can confirm the author's experience, I also had stuttering, instability, etc., with the 14900K. I returned the CPU and, with an additional payment, got the 9800X3D, which Jensen Huang himself personally uses for his

Ryzen 7 9800X3D vs. Core i9-14900K: Who's Really Faster For Battlefield 6?

AMD's 1% lows are higher than Intel's average FPS, that's insane. Complete domination by AMD in this hit game. If you're interested in a review of that CPU, here's a link to one that even the moderator approved and accepted as reliable:

13/14th gen "Intel baseline" can still degrade CPU, even with new microcode, due to AC LL

You've had to RMA your 13th/14th gen CPU two or three times now? Read on. Most likely due to insane AC load line defaults and/or unleashed CPU and motherboard settings. You've set "Intel Baseline" or any other type of profile, get lower than expected performance but higher than expected temperatures

Let’s just say my MacBook Pro m5 has better CPU performance than my Desktop Intel 14900k

Edit: follow-up post here!

The performance difference in my creative apps I use professionally (Capture One and Photoshop, mostly) is negligible. I also do some occasional gaming at 4K with a 3080 Ti and the performance there is negligible too, especially since my main monitor is 60Hz and I cap it
