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 ?

This is a good thread for a question I've had for a while: what happened to Xeons good for gaming past X99?

I see many Xeons for sale for consumer platforms (H55, H61, B85, H110 etc.) and enthusiast platforms (X58, X79, X99) that are used for gaming, both with mobos of the era and questionable chinese mobos with salvaged chips,

...but after X99 and some V5 for the h110 platform I don't think I've seen more recent ones. Has something happened or have I not looked in the right places?

Intel locked down xeon CPUs with x299, so you cant put them in the consumer socket.

Also, anything past 18 cores uses the 3466 socket so it wouldn't be able to fit in x299 anyways.
