"Comparing the Ryzen 7 9700X to Intel's mid-range offering that is in the same price bracket, namely the Intel Core i7-14700K, the Zen 5 CPU is clearly faster in single-threaded but lags behind in the multi-threaded department by a delta of 15%. So, even with a healthy IPC increase, the Ryzen 7 9700X could have a tough time against its Intel rival in the multi-core workloads."

PS: also... something something V3.
