I'm in a bit of a dilemma deciding between the Intel 285K and the Ryzen 9950X for gaming. Price-wise, they are equal where I'm buying from, so budget isn't an issue. Most resources I found focus on workload performance rather than gaming, and I'm really looking for input on which would perform better specifically for playing games.

I’d go with the Ryzen 9950X! It generally shows better performance in gaming scenarios compared to the Intel 285K. Plus, it tends to have a more solid upgrade path, which is always a bonus.
But I'm actually focusing on the 9950X, not the 9950X3D. Does it still hold up?
