Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade from my current Ryzen 5 8600G processor, but I'm stuck deciding between the 9600X, 9700X, 7700X, and 14600K options. I primarily use Adobe Illustrator and also work with ComfyUI, which I know leans more on the GPU side, but I'm still concerned about processor performance for those tasks. I don't see a lot of focused comparisons for these CPUs related to design software—most seem to cater to gamers. I've got a separate RTX 4060 graphics card and 32GB of RAM at 6000MHz, so any advice on which CPU would suit my needs best would be really appreciated!

Are you currently using the 8600G? If so, knowing your full system specs can help narrow down options. The 9600X and 9700X might offer decent upgrades for Adobe work, especially if you multitask a lot. Just make sure your motherboard supports the new CPU!
Yes, I'm on the 8600G right now! My full specs are: A620M-K motherboard, AG400 Plus cooler, RTX 4060 Eagle 8GB OC GPU, 32GB RAM, and a MWE 600 Bronze V2 PSU.
