Dang, if last time was a 14th Gen being sold for the same price as this 13th Gen does that mean last time was a price mistake?

Of course, what was I thinking. I thought CPU and GPU do the same things. I mean, there's gotta be productivity things, otherwise why would people sell them. You're right, it was so obvious! I should buy more cores to be more productive, because it's called productivity right? We gotta do all the things faster. But not gaming. No we don't play games here. We're serious people!

I'm still waiting for an actual answer to my question.
Most of adobe's product are preferred to intel because of quicksync(seen someone actually using amd cpu+intel gpu just for that before), some music industries vst plugins are still performing better just because of the history that they've been supporting for intel macs, there used to be some thunderbolt audio interfaces having trouble with amd but not sure if it's fixed or not. e-core been working fine(at least in most productivity tasks, still seeing couple issues with gaming) with windows 11.
Someone who "actually" needs intel will not even ask if they need intel or not because of the compatibility of their main softwares (of course amd doesn't really have tons of bugs after them coming back to mainstream, but still are kinda preferred to intel due to how softwares are programmed), but if theres not so much of difference, 7900x will perform well with almost the same price range and could spend less on cooling (intel tends to run way hotter than amd these days)

Isn't the 7800x3d cheaper and better for gaming?
Yes. I got the MC bundle with the 7800x3d and paired it with a 7900 GRE GPU. Without OC on the GPU my TimeSpy 3DMark tested at 20,405.

Is the Intel vs. Ryzen for business/desktop apps like Handbrake / Office's real-world use really negligible however? Or are we talking like a video conversion that takes 5 minutes on Ryzen 78003xd take only 3 minutes on this Intel?
I can only speak for Handbrake. Using the same settings for a 1080p, h264 lvl 4.1 encode @ CQ 18, slow setting on multiple tests.... the Intel 13700k was, on average, 3 minutes faster than my Ryzen 5800x. So encoding 10 movies the intel would save you 30 minutes only.

So it's more of a compatibility issue, not a performance issue then. Thanks for giving an actual answer. Quicksync is fine in a pinch, but like I said, you can buy any low end nvidia gpu, and nvenc would perform a lot better. Unless Adobe products don't support GPU hardware acceleration. But if folks want to get Intel CPU for work, and don't want to deal w/ compatibility problems, that's a valid reason too. In that situation, reliability is more important than performance/$.

Speaking of MicroCenter, any idea if the new North Carolina store will have huge grand opening discounts similar to when they opened the Indianapolis store last year?

Are those processors comparable? 16/24 Intel vs 8/16 AMD. Shouldn't a 5900x be a better comparison

What are people's thoughts on this bundle compared to the $400 i9 12900k bundle? Seems like this one has slightly better mobo and cpu but worth the extra $100?
That 400$ bundle was the deal one a century

I do Music Production. CPU is king and the plugins get harder and harder on CPUs. You can easily max out the CPU with certain PlugIns (Effects and Synths/Sounds) so the better the CPU the less problems.

So here is the sad part of PC master racing.

When ps5 is $499 there is an absolute cap on buying PC for gaming. Sure 90 fps on Cyberpunk at full ultra is a nice thing to have but at what cost?

Interest rates are high now. It is a national warning to keep your money. When rates are low, splurge.
