VERDICT
Recommended Ryzen™ 7 5700X3D
Strong enough margin to put Ryzen™ 7 5700X3D in the cart—caveats still below. Spec sheet: up to 4.1 GHz, 8 / 16, 96 MB L3 cache—Ryzen™ 7 5700X3D is built for sustained load, not just burst. If editing, streaming, and design workflows are your daily work, Ryzen™ 7 5700X3D's ~6% lead in Content Creation Index is more actionable than core count alone. Match your week against on Gaming Index: +44%, in Efficiency Index: +28%—that is the practical test. The final word is your most-used software, not this page.
