I9 14th gen or 13th gen (alien.top)

Hello! It's time for me to upgrade my pc and I'm unsure of what I should choose. I've heard that 13th and 14th-gen i9 are similar in performance, but I'm unsure of which one I should buy. If there is a better option (like Ryzen) out there then I'm open for it as well.

I'm fine with buying a new motherboard etc for the new sockets.

Use: I will use it to play games and work with Blender and Unreal.

Specs: Currently a 3090, i7-8700K, 32 GB RAM, Win 11.

Thanks in advance!

Ps. I'm thinking of doing the upgrade during Black Friday.

I'd get 14th gen if you are a gamer. Unclear right now if Intel APO will be useful in the future, but it does add a lot of performance to the 2 games it currently supports. And it only works on 14th gen.

But then again, if you're a gamer, why go for i9? I thought about it and simply couldn't reconcile the cost v. Real use and instead picked a 14700k.same reason I picked a z690 board instead of 790.
