Verdict — Ryzen 9 7950X
Superseded by the 9950X and 9950X3D but still a great deal on the used market for productivity workloads. Runs at 95°C sustained — that's normal on Ryzen 7000, not a defect.
Verdict — Core i5-12400F
Punches far above its price. No E-cores means no scheduler weirdness. Pair with cheap DDR4 for a solid gaming machine.
