How is the Xeon w5-3425 more capable than the i9-14900K ? (alien.top)

From what I know, Xeon CPUs focus more on lots of core but with less single-core performance, yet the Xeon w5-3425 is current gen, has only 12 cores and costs 1189$. On the other hand, the i9-14900K has 8 big cores (P) and 16 medium cores (E), with way higher single-core performance and costs half of the Xeon w5-3425. What am I missing ?

12 P cores vs 8P cores and 8 channel memory vs 2 channel memory. If you care about P cores or memory bandwidth then the Xeon is a lot faster. It can also have a lot more (ECC) RAM and PCie devices.

Basically it's a workstation processor.
