As the title says, I really need help choosing a cpu for my gaming/work build. I wanted to go with an i9-14900K but I fear the issues with 13th and 14th are not enitrely fixed(intel says they are fixed but idk if i can believe them). I cannot find any AMD Ryzen 9 9950x anywhere, not even on sketchy websites. Is the ryzen 9 9900x any good? Should i go with a 12th gen intel? I can't really wait since my previous build(HP pavilion 15 gaming laptop, alsmost 7yo) is dying.
