yeah… most people dont care about multithreading, and yeah, 12% st is important, but 8800X3D is said to deliver 20% better st? read that even 30% is possible, while being way way more efficient and like 30-40% better in gaming… 14900K is a waste of money if already have the 13700
and i say that an i9 is pointless as a 13900K owner, ill upgrade ASA 8800X3Ds are available
