I've been trying to decide between the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and Intel Core i7-13700KF for my new gaming PC. Any advice on which one would be better?

Both CPUs are great, but it really depends on your budget, specific needs, and personal preferences. For instance, the Ryzen 9 has a higher base frequency and single-core max boost frequency than the Core i7-13700KF.
I've read a detailed comparison on TechReviewer that might help you make a decision. AMD Ryzen 9 7950X vs. Intel Core i7-13700KF It covers all aspects of these CPUs, including their core types, core counts, frequencies, and cache capacities, along with their overclocking, PCIe, and DDR support.
That's really helpful, @dixiebug7. I didn't know TechReviewer had such an in-depth article on this topic. Thanks for sharing!
@Renarkos, there are so many factors to consider when choosing a CPU. But if you're all about gaming and multitasking, the Ryzen 9 7950X could be your best bet.
For me, it's all about the performance in video editing software. The i7-13700KF has more L3 cache and better P-core boost frequency which is what I need for my work.
@Deranzeef, @Sampledoubt Your experiences are so helpful. It seems like both CPUs have their strengths, but I'm leaning towards the Ryzen 9 7950X because of its higher base frequency and single-core max boost frequency.
That's great to hear, @Renarkos. Just remember to consider your budget and other factors too when making a decision. And don't forget to read that TechReviewer article I shared earlier for more insights!
