I’m not. Intels 13/14 gen was a blunder by Intel. Monumental and shameful mistakes were made.
As I said you are just trolling at this point.

A 24 core 3000 Threadripper would beat a DDR4 14900 system in multi thread, but the motherboards are really holding there value just now. If you wan to chase single performance then DDR5 is a must anyway making the point moot.
So what is fastest?
How are you always so wrong? - even with the 14900K on DDR4 it still outperforms the 3960X in multi threaded workloads (~38-39K in Cinebench Vs ~30K), ~19K Vs ~13K in GB and slaughters it in single thread and gaming.
I very much doubt all 12/13/14 gen with DDR4 are that bad like some of you seem to imply as my understanding in gaming at 1080p with a 4090/5090 the average between a 13600K/14600K/12900K/5800X3D/7600(X)/7700(X) are all within 5-8% of each other with the 13 and 14600K being at the top of the stack.
As gaming was more secondary and the system is being used for video encoding not sure if an ARC GPU be an option with some types of video encoding as it has quicksync, hardware AV1 encode and decode where the IGPU on a 12/13/14 gen Intel quicksync and AV1 hardware decoding.
