I have a 7900x/4090 build and there isnt any instance ive noticed a CPU boost from the 7900x. The 7900x is seriously only around 3% better for daily use and maybe 6% workload.
That chip is a killer.

Do you want to use your existing DDR4 or Mobo? Go Intel.
Don't care about the small premium for DDR5 or want some future-proofing on the platform? Go AMD.
Performance and price are so similar between Intel and AMD and the chips this gen are so good, no matter what you get.
I happened to go with AMD this gen because Microcenter footed the bill for the DDR5. If you live near a Microcenter, that might tip things toward AMD as long as they keep throwing out that RAM like candy.
I'm guessing these price drops are making way for the 3D CPUs?
