VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i9-10940X X-series
Both are viable. Core™ i9-10940X X-series is slightly ahead overall; whether that matters depends on your apps. Spec sheet: 19 MB L3 cache, 14 / 28, up to 4.6 GHz—Core™ i9-10940X X-series is built for sustained load, not just burst. Scenario-first: Content Creation Index favors Core™ i9-10940X X-series (~+30%). Match your week against on Content Creation Index +30%, on Compute Index: +17%—that is the practical test. SFF builders: treat ~22% efficiency as a real constraint. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
