2. Wouldn't make a difference either gaming or working unless you are an edge professional, in which case cost doesn't really factor. Also, those who are considering the 5900x probably already have the AM4 platform so there's a huge cost jump to go to a different platform.
3. 13th gen is much hotter and 14th gen is so hot that only AIOs can keep them from throttling even during regular use. Do a google search for "intel throttling raptor lake". In comparison, the 5900x stays at such low temps that you will hardly ever hear the fans even while gaming. TDP for 5900x is 105w vs 125w.
4. 64mb cache on 5900x vs 32mb cache
None of this is fanboyism, it's just the facts. I have a 13600k system and I like it, but only because it was built on the company dime. at home i have a 5900x and 4080S, and it is a great thing to be playing maxed out with RT etc and the desktop stays cool and quiet.

This is vastly slower than a 14600k/13600k in gaming and productivity and also slower in multi-thread, while costing the same.
