Its slower than a Core Ultra 7 270KF Plus yet it costs $200 more. Typical overpriced Ryzen cpu. But that will get you a thumbs down on this forum... a lot of "loyaltists" on here 😕

There are definitely a lot of irrational die-hard fans, but the price-to-performance difference isn't as big as $200. One annoying thing is that Intel requires a new motherboard almost every generation.
Because I need to run a lot of full-load Python tests, I just upgraded from a 7700X to a 9950X a few days ago. The nice thing is that upgrading the CPU didn't require changing other components, which saved me some time. And time is money, my friend. Especially in the U.S., where labor costs are high.
Additionally, the Core Ultra 7 270KF Plus has 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores. This makes scheduling during programming somewhat tricky. Sometimes heavy workloads are correctly assigned to performance cores, but other times they are inexplicably pushed onto efficiency cores, causing overall execution time to become unnecessarily long. Whether coding manually or with AI, debugging and adding extra scheduling logic also takes time. Again, time is money. AI usage is getting more expensive as well.
The 9950X, on the other hand, has a straightforward setup of 16 homogeneous cores, making execution times much more predictable. For me, this makes programming easier.
