I'm trying to decide between the 9950X and the 7950X3D for both gaming and productivity tasks. I checked out Tom's Hardware's recent performance lists and noticed that the 9950X excels in some areas while the 7950X3D performs better in others. The 7950X3D is cheaper where I am, but performance is my top priority. If the difference isn't substantial, I might lean towards the 7950X3D since it costs less. What do you all think?

If you’re leaning towards productivity, the 9950X is your best bet; it’s designed for that and performs very well. On the other hand, the 7950X3D shines in gaming, so if that’s your main focus, that’s the one to go for. Just keep in mind what you prioritize more!
Which one is more futureproof?
