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Superseded by the 9950X and 9950X3D but still a great deal on the used market for productivity workloads.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 i7-14700K
A decent chip weighed down by platform reputation. Ensure BIOS is current if you own or buy one.
