Its up to you to decide what you want - stability or possible future problems. They both do the same thing, just that one (statistically) melts and breaks. To me the choice is clear.Btw intel have dropped the 14900k price to $500 as well.
So now I'm between 14900k and 7950x.
Is 7950x the most popular opinion here?
Btw, I was working on a project the other day, and checked the CPU usage, which hovered around 3% in Reaper, on my 7950x + x670e mobo.
The project consts of: 3 x kontakt instances, 1x omnisphere, lots of fabfilter eq, comp, etc, microtonic x1, permut8 x 2, TAL Uno-L-X x1, shaperbox x3, few SPAN instances, 3x Reacomp, and ReaLimit (reaper limiter) on all of the 60 tracks in the project. 24bit 48khz, buffer 256 (5.8/6.1 latency). Quite decent I might say, considering that nothing is bounced to audio, everything runs live and some controlled via midi.
