>Intel Core i5-14600K $230
>AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D $600
Platform on Intel 14600K re-uses my DDR4 3600 CL16, and costs ~$1900 in total.
Platform on AMD 7800X3D doesn't re-use anything, and costs ~$2350 in total.
I was going to go with Intel since that was my choice since 2013, but nearly 200W is kinda warm. Needs water cooling or giant-ass 1.5Kg cooler. Not that I am against it, I did sit in a tiny room with my Q6600@4.0Ghz 1.49 V before so it is not unfamiliar, but still. Kinda curious about water cooling actually since I never had it before and it is much more affordable nowadays.
Do not care much about platform future-proofing: I don't beleive either would be worth re-using after 5-8 years.
