Best for: Extreme creator and workstation builds
This CPU makes the most sense when the whole platform still looks sensible after motherboard, cooler, and upgrade-path costs are added in. A processor that looks better in isolation can quickly stop being the best buy once the full build budget is counted properly.
The smartest comparison is rarely just about who wins on paper. It is about which chip leaves the build in a better place overall.
