I'm looking to switch from an Intel 265K build to an AMD alternative but need some guidance. I'm mainly focused on performance for tasks like 3D rendering, video editing, and coding. Which AMD processor would offer comparable performance?

You might want to consider the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X or the Ryzen 9 9900X. They're strong contenders, especially for productivity tasks like yours.
In terms of price and performance, the Ryzen 7900X is your best bet. It has 12 cores and 24 threads, which is fantastic for productivity, and it might fit your budget well, depending on where you're at.
Honestly, going for AMD right now might not be the best move if you’re on a budget. Intel Core CPUs have some nice discounts and they perform really well for workstation tasks.
For content creation and similar workloads, there isn't a direct AMD equivalent to the 265K. That chip has 20 cores and quick sync, which is excellent for your needs.
What about the 9700X? It seems like a solid option for coding and video editing, while the 7900X or 9900X could be better for rendering.
