If you're only gaming then the 7800x3d is faster in the majority of games, however if you're doing anything at all that will utilise the cores a 14700k won't be very far behind in gaming and significantly faster in productivity

Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.
New APO feature on 14th gen really closed the game in gaming too up to 20% more performance while using less power just by enabling APO.
100% agree with this. I went from a 9900k to 7800x3D and was shocked how much better games ran. I'm normally Team Blue, but if you're upgrading now, Team Red is the way.
What cooler on 9700k the 14gen is hotter allcore loaded
I just made that exact upgrade and holymoly it was a nice jump. 7700k to 9700k now to 14700k. 2k games are maxed out at 165fps now regardless of the game
Yes. Without doubt, upgrade. Between the m.2 SSD speeds, fast ass RAM and an insane processor ... you'll lose your fkg mind.
I just made this exact cpu upgrade this weekend. Do it. I am also taming the beasts heat with an AK620 ~60°C gaming, I haven't run any benchmarks mostly because I dont care
