@Tyler-98-W68 I appreciate the testing you have done. I always love new graphs and new data points to ponder over. There is no single answer for every use case when it comes to the best CPU. Compromises have to be made one way or the other.
I have both Arrow Lake (245KF) and 9950X3D too. If I want to be very honest about how I feel about both of them, I think both are overpriced.
245KF often has trouble beating 12700K in benchmarks.
9950X3D (I paid almost $870 in 4 installments for it because of possibility of loser trump doing something idiotic and causing prices to go even higher) is bandwidth starved in multi-core scenarios and really needs quad channel RAM or EXPO DDR5-9000 (which we might get next year with better mobos maybe?).
I understand the majority going for the 9800X3D because generally, it does better in the average game(s) that people are most likely to play. Your gaming examples, while very enlightening, probably don't matter to the average user because they may not even want to play those games in their entire lifetime.
So I'm just thinking, why are you bothering to argue? Just present your data and let us enjoy the graphs
