Someone can assist you in choosing between AMD and Intel for Unreal Engine and game development. You're considering an i9 12900K and are worried about heat in your tropical climate. While both brands offer similar core counts, Intel's processors tend to run cooler under high temperatures. For better cooling, look into AMD Ryzen 7000 series or Intel's latest offerings with improved thermal management. Let me know if you need more details!

The Intel i9-12900K offers 8 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, totaling 16 cores and 24 threads. The AMD Ryzen 9 5950x provides 16 performance cores for a combined 32 threads. While the i9 excels in single-core speed, its multi-core performance varies depending on workload distribution. The R9 model features 16 identical cores with 32 threads, offering strong scalability across many cores. For detailed insights, see the comparison here: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel...-12th-gen/. In multi-threaded tests, the i9 reaches up to 270W+, whereas the R9 typically hits around 180W.

Added a review link above. Consider checking several reviews instead of just one. Focus on those that mention productivity task performance and metrics such as performance/watt.
