14th gen has 8 more e-cores, 600mhz higher boost, and uses 63w more power (253w 😲), but I don't see any performance difference for most people, especially since you can OC.
Spend the money saved on more/better ram. 🤔

The i9 seems like a better deal. Although it's a gen behind. $400

No onboard video with the F chips.

Isn't CAS latency of 32 on the Ram really bad?
No. There are much worse kits for ddr5 6000.
With DDR4 it was pretty standard to be 3200CL16 or 3600CL18.
But for DDR5 6000CL30 is the sweet spot right now, 6000CL32 definitely isn't bad there are kits that are 5400CL40 or worse.
For a deeper explanation just Google DDR4 vs DDR5 plenty of articles. But basically people wondered the same thing when we switched from DDR3 to DDR4.
It's only better if you have a GPU atleast as good as a RTX 4080 or 4090. Otherwise if your running a 60 or 70 series card, the extra cpu cores will do no better than previous gen cpu
I'm a very occasional builder, and this was the first CPU I'd ever bought without any onboard video, so a warning from my experience if you're in the same boat: If you have a large GPU and you have to troubleshoot or change any SATA connections or m2 drives, you might end up taking the GPU out and putting it back in a lot, because pretty much all of that is under it. Would have been nice to be able to get everything working and then add the GPU. I don't think that construction is unique to this motherboard, just something I hadn't really considered.
