It's a decent deal for this CPU, but I don't understand this CPU's use case. Either go bigger / more cores (9950X) if you want a CPU primarily for productivity, or go for a 9800X3D if you want gaming (or a 9950X3D if you want both). Productivity on a budget, I guess?

It is an odd one in the lineup, came down to the TDP for me, wanted some extra cores for running VMs, but also keep my smaller case. If your plan is just gaming though, 100% pick the 8-core models. However, I paid $10 less over a year ago, that was a deal given how new it was, harder to recommend now.

I wonder if his tin foil cap protects from Space Lasers as well?

I disregard games/gamerz so when it comes down to productivity, the bottleneck is the software obviously. Adobe's Creative Cloud doesn't benefit meaningfully from any headroom past the 9900x anyway. And yeah, saving money is a universal goal (why are we here at SD?). This is the one -- and Intel is hilariously still behind after over a decade.

The US government purchased 10% ownership of Intel as of a few months ago. The rest of what he's saying is nonsense though.
