He focused only on single-core speed, and 4 to 6 cores seemed excessive. It costs around $159 compared to nearly $300 for something he doesn’t prioritize.
It offers similar single-core performance to an i7-9700K, though real-world results may vary based on workload and system load.
The focus was on single-core results. They're about the same number of cores, almost unchanged since Skylake. At that speed, single-core performance would look almost the same. A difference between 9.7GHz and 10.6GHz isn't noticeable unless software uses hyperthreading. The higher frequency model offers better cooling efficiency.
