If you can get a decent Z790 at a keen price the 14700K(F) is still a good option - 1440p/4K it is pretty much on par with any of the other CPUs unless you have a 4090/5090 and still holds up well if you do, considerably cheaper than most of the other options, holds up well if you are doing a mix of gaming and productivity, thread heavy games or gaming with other stuff running as well i.e. OBS - where some of the other CPUs can fall down despite doing better in pure benchmarks of games, etc. etc.

I noted, when watching the review of the 9950x3D from GN on YouTube, that he discounted as even bothering to mention anything from Intel as being considered a top end gaming CPU alternative. How times have changed, to be no longer considered an alternative, in that context.

yeah its sad to see, hoping they can fix up in the next iteration or 2 and give AMD some proper competition because atm they are totally irrelevant at almost every level
