  2.  @rgbplague7834  9800X3D (323) has beaten Core i5 14600K (293) on Blender. 9950X3D are for gaming, workstation AVX-512 and productivity tasks.

  3.  @Mcvalverte  Phoronix's reviews show improvements for 9950X. Hint: "AVX-512 is used in Cinebench 2024, but in such low amounts that it’s irrelevant." Cinebench 2024 is a bad benchmark for SIMD. From running Cinebench under Intel’s Software Development Emulator, Cinebench 2024 heavily leverages the AVX extension. Like libx264 video encoding, scalar integer instructions still play a major role. Both libx264 and Cinebench contrast with Y-Cruncher, which is dominated by AVX-512 instructions. AVX-512 is used in Cinebench 2024, but in such low amounts that it’s irrelevant. Although SSE and AVX provide 128-bit and 256-bit vector support respectively, Cinebench 2024 makes little use of vector compute. Most AVX or SSE instructions operate on scalar values. The most common FP/vector math instructions are VMULSS (scalar FP32 multiply) and VADDSS (scalar FP32 add). About 6.8% of instructions do math on 128-bit vectors. 256-bit vectors are nearly absent, but AVX isn’t just about vector length. It provides non-destructive three operand instruction formats, and Cinebench leverages that.
