For example, the best gaming processor you can buy a 9800x3D ($460 CPU only) is only 8% faster at 1440p with a 4090, 3% at 4k. Only at low resolutions with a flagship GPU (aka unrealistic scenarios for most people) will you really see the difference. The Core Ultra 265k is +50% faster in multithread and is more power efficient, so it pulls ahead in other ways while being cheaper.
The closest comparison at this price would be the 9600X ($210+$80 DDR5) and by far is the 265K the better CPU.
At this price, with free RAM, the 265k is the obvious buy if youre looking for a new build. A lot of old reviews will have been comparing products at MSRP but this is essentially a 50% discount... So it completely changes how you perceive the CPU. If I didnt already have a build from last year, I would be jumping on this personally.

FWIW CL 36 is Samsung chips while CL 30 is Hynix if that matters any to you.
FYI definitely get the latest BIOS which should be last month for most motherboards and enable the 200S Boost unless you are totally into manual overclocking. DM me for any questions on this.
