What you stated, now time to think
Intel 6950x to 7700X = 7 generation difference
1 generational leap in IPC performance is not going to make up for 8 additional cores. I know you know that, so why are you being difficult for the sake of being difficult?

A "generation difference" is an arbitrary number with performance gains that vary based on breakthroughs, research and development $$$, and current tech possibilities…it's bs.
Amds zen 5 architecture is said to be 30% faster, a large leap.
Intels 3770k (gen 3) to gen 9 (9900k) was around a 30% single core difference..
So you can exclude all those intel gens lil buddy

It 100% is not a arbitrary number. CPU roadmaps are defined years in advance. I dont even know what you're trying to say let alone prove. Performance will vary somewhat, but it does follow a predictable pattern.
Of course, there are variables that may delay launches and that lies mostly with fabricators like TSMC. So if TSMC has trouble suppling 5nm, 3nm wafers, that could jeopardize their roadmaps. AMD is fabless and can focus on chip design and let TSMC do the actual fabrications.
Originally you claimed the 5950X is faster than the 7700X in non-gaming applications. This is factually true, but is also like saying 1+1 = 2. Many applications take advantage of more processes/cores so naturally the 5950X is faster because very rarely do a single leap in generation exceed 10-15% gains.
The math is painfully obvious.

A simple example was provided on how "generations" are arbitrary. Meaning the difference between each generation is based on the variables already stated.
no weaseling out of this reality is gonna change your initial incorrect statement

Difference is I was pointing out well yeah duh of course that's true. You're comparing a flagship CPU of a previous generation to a mid-tier CPU of a current gen. That's the equivalent of saying, "My RTX 3090 is faster than a 4060 whoaaaa.."
You have yet to point out any facts besides your own opinions, which are well opinions. You're a walking, talking breathing embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect. I believe I've made my point. I will no longer respond to your posts.

My advise is if you dont have someone in your real life to hold your hand and babysit you, dont build one on your own.
Just buy one of the brand new PCs from the SD's front page deal.
OR
Buy one of the used HP/Dell PCs and put a RTX 4060 8GB / 4060 Ti 16GB into it and call it a day.
RTX 4060 8GB/ 4060 Ti 16GB both use very little in watts. Even an used office PC can power it up without any problem.
Once you have your PC, you can take it apart and put it back and learn a thing or two about it.
And if all fails, return the PC within the typical 15 days or 30 days for a full refund.
Even at release date Nov 5, 2020 - $799.
When I got it Apr 2022 at Microcenter - $519 before coupon.
People who watch such CPU, need more cores/threads, and not for gaming purposes.
Yes. 5950x is VERY hot and NEED liquid cooling for intensive work.
I use EVGA CLC 280mm All-In-One and even at fan/pump's full speed 5950x work at 70 Celcius degree.
You crazy to use a 280mm. The 5950x needs a 360mm
Anyway, it work, 70 Celsius degree not bad.
And I have 2 140mm fans "in" with high air pressure to cool MB an GPU backplate +120mm fan "out".
Dude, it's all depend what you need.
Ryzen 5950X main purpose NOT gaming, skip it in this case and spend money on GPU.
For WORKstation with many VM or CAD, video-editing etc - perfect.
For ALL, guys, very important:
I checked MB B550 UD AC, not so much info, but this motherboard looks not good for such powerful CPU, VRM not the best, only 5 real phases (very close to Gigabyte B550 Gaming X), I have no idea how long it'll work under full load 5950x, if it can handle at all. And definitely DO NOT OVERCLOCK!!! - risky to get fire and fried PC. Max 8 cores, I suppose. So, only if you will sell MB and can get decent TOP one with good VRM.

First off, please never, ever, ever use UserBenchmark! Ever! It is biased and completely flawed. If you don't believe me, google "userbenchmark banned".
Second, the 5950X is best for productivity. It works fine for gaming also, but you can get better gaming performance for less money. For gaming, get a different CPU: One of the X3D CPUs (5800X3D is king), if you're sticking with AM4; or the Ryzen 5 7600 (similar gaming performance) and above, if you're going AM5.
Check out these CPU reviews, which include the 5950X:
Save some money and go with am5 7600 or 7600x or if you can find a deal 5600 or something on am4 though that would be a hard sell for me atm given upgradability.
It's going to be mostly about your gpu anyways unless youre some 1080p competitive gamer
This is for people who play games as well as do other stuff like convert videos, stream, video editing etc and multitasking. You can do those stuff while gaming.
I have crazy amount of stuff going on in background while I am gaming and this runs them all like a charm.

With PBU running on this CPU it can use a lot of power (not as much as the Intel high-core K's), and those liquid coolers will keep it well cooled, and cheaper than the high end air coolers like Noctua (though I do love those too). ARGB variations can be had for a little more if you're so inclined.
All that being said, I personally would look for a different deal with a better motherboard, or a processor by itself (was $309 recently, likely to happen again as these age) and purchase a better motherboard separately with a better VRM. This is a heavy hitting CPU, especially if you're using PBO or manual overclocking, and the included MB is more entry-level.
