I get that DDR5 prices are insane right now, but that affects every modern CPU, it's not exclusive to Intel or e

For context, in the Techpowerup review, the 270K roughly matches the 9950X in application performance. Here, it is slightly behind even the 9900X. The difference probably comes mostly from the machine learning and scientific computing tests, as these greatly benefit from things like AVX-512, which t
