I have both of these CPUs and would like your opinions on what you would slot and why? I am prioritizing game performance.

I am passing the other CPU to my son who programs with Unreal Engine 5 for game development and does AI coding in university.

As soon as possible I will upgrade to a RTX 5070Ti and pass my current GPU to my son as well so that is a relevant factor.

Current Use Case:

• 75% gaming (RDR2, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur’s Gate, etc.) *past my competitive shooter years
• 25% work (all cloud based with no heavy load on local system)

Current Build:

• Asus Strix X570-E Gaming
• 32 GB DDR4-3600
• RTX 4070
• Corsair RM850x
