12700K has better performance per dollar in productivity, gaming (both low and high resolution)
Also, keep in mind that turning E cores off is going to improve gaming performance. ALder Lake was not tested on its full potential for gaming
5800X3D is more expensive than 12700K. SO turning E cores will not make put 12700K at any disadvantage anyway
So you're paying 450 dollar for a 5800x3d when you can get a 12600kf for 280 with 4.4% slower gaming performance at 1080p?
To both of you: pricing varies per country, let alone per state in the USA.
And as always... stop looking at just the CPU prices.
You can mix this with an A320 board and 16GB of DDR4 3200 and a 120mm air cooler, vs needing a top end DDR5 board and a 360mm AIO
