lol why have you an am5 rig yet wetting your pants over intel who is clearly the inferior platform. Why would I swap the faster game cpu that uses hundreds watts less power for the same 8 core with joke e-cores and a boost clock that crashes when playing games lol.
It is a tiny number of 13th and 14th gen CPUs which are crashing and mostly 13900/14900 at that and despite the talking of all boards having unlocked power limits it is almost exclusively a combination of CPUs with low stability margin and Asus motherboards where people are having problems (in most cases manually dialing in the Intel spec boost power limits fixes it and/or disabling boost optimisation presets which result in out of spec behaviour).
I'm a little bemused by the 7800X3D bandwagon personally as outside of purely gaming it really can be 1-2 generations behind Intel's nearest CPUs by price and most of the performance advantage is lost at resolutions above 1080p with high or ultra settings, the 7950X3D has a much better balance of performance but is quite a lot more expensive. If you've got similar systems side by side even application/game installs are noticeable slower on the 7800X3D than other options. Despite the headline power and heat figures of the Intel 13th and 14th gen in a mostly GPU bound gaming situation they aren't that terrible.
Thing which makes me most critical of Intel really is the joke PCI-e provisioning with limited number of PCI-e lanes and mediocre PCI-e 5.0 support.
EDIT: Also something a lot of reviews don't show - while the 7800X3D itself is around twice as power efficient or better at gaming whole system power consumption vs the 14700K is somewhere around 30% difference at 1080p and 20% at 4K, so not nearly as big a difference overall.
