The only "better" cpu on the market is Ryzen 9 7950X3D about 6% slower but the 13900K is $200 cheaper and can still use DDR4 if you already have memory and a board.

13th Gen. Intel does, but why get some of the most powerful cpus ever made and run on ddr4?…
Because there is very little performance difference overall. I'm aware that AM5 only uses DDR5. Apologize if it was confusing. If I wanted to write a short story I would have elaborated that if I wanted to upgrade from say an 8th Gen or newer and I already had 32 or 64 gb of DDR4 3600 you could put more money into GPU. Saving $200 on CPU and at least $120 on ram would get you more than halfway to a 4070. Money not being an object I'd go DDR5. Most of the 13900K systems I build are 4090's 64 GB DDR5 6000. 4 TB NVME 4.0, etc. Typically in Thermaltake 500 chassis and either 360 mm AIO or custom water loop. Someone may already have a lower end 12th Gen with DDR4 and so popping in a 13900K at this price is pretty damn good. The 13900K passmarks at 60,051 and a 12400 at under 19546. 12400 is worth ~$150 so $349 net difference and then next upgrade would be board and DDR5. Gaming benchmarks are about a 2-3% difference between DDR5 6000 and DDR4 3600. Bottlenecks are almost never memory speed --but cpu/gpu. Depends if upgrading or a new build.
