As I say, I've been working my way through some of the material in this post: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/amd-vs-intel.72675/ And in one of the videos linked: ... the guy actually says (6m10s) that the IPC improvement of the 3900X/3950X doesn't actually make up for the 0.5GHz...

Awesome, thanks for that @Nursemorph. I can wait a couple weeks to see if that turns out to be true. And then for sure, if it is as it seems, and I can get a 5950X that outperforms the 10900K in single core performance for less or similar money ... it's a no-brainer!

@SpyderTracks so ... is there any good way to properly compare these things? It'd be pretty inconvenient if the thing everyone uses is apparently shill, but there's no other alternative. Either way, the methodology does still kinda seem to align with what I need: a small number of very fast...

I'm working my way through them now :) Although some of it goes over my head. I'd be interested to know (and I've just seen @Nursemorph suggest a build, which I'll check out), what you think would be a good (the best) CPU for a game like MSFS 2020, which in most people's system is cpu-limited...

I read the link with interest, and I can understand the points raised. What are the 'new AMD chips' that you mention, so I can look out for them? I don't especially want this to turn into a CPU Intel vs AMD discussion - and CERTAINLY not an argument :) - but I'm actually now quite interested...

I'm looking at a new gaming rig, and I'm trying to work out if the Hydro X (or similar) is 'worth it' over a simpler all in one CPU liquid cooling solution like the H115i (or similar). Essential context: I've never had any form of liquid cooling before, and I'm far from an expert in PC building...
