I will bite because "puzzling" and maybe not just trolling ..Possibly the most puzzling "Editor's Choice" I've seen ever given on this website, this thing is just a slightly overclocked 13900k.
1) 13900K is Editor's Choice, which nobody doubts? It's in a ton of rigs, these people can't be idiots
2) Giving Editor's Choice to the exact same CPU, at same pricing, with a different name, is reasonable, right? Just a name change doesn't change how it works in your PC? or am I reviewing naming schemes?
3) If that CPU now runs a bit faster, still at the same price, minor improvements, no drawback, we should we be taking away Editor's Choice?
I think people are just sad that "14" is not a lot faster than "13", which I agree is sad, and a failure by Intel.
It doesn't change the fact that the 14900K is the best high-performance Intel CPU available.
It offers amazing application performance AND amazing gaming performance (and the same crazy power draw of 13900K, which apparently a lot of people don't care about, see #1)
A lot of people will be buying it, just like the 13900K
