Interesting how different Ryzen and Core Ultra have become, Ryzen with 6 dual threaded cores, and Intel with 6 P cores and 12 E cores that are all single threaded. Intel clearly win the overall performance here, which they should with 3 times as many cores and 50% higher power consumption, and that considered Intel multi threading is a bit underwhelming compared to AMD IMO.
With the 50% higher power draw om the Intel, you need a way better cooler, or it will get noisy under high loads.
I guess both CPU's are good options, but personally I kind of favor the AMD as a more elegant solution IMO, and also longer motherboard lifespan, that probably will make it possible to make a cheap upgrade in a couple of years, just swapping the CPU for something twice as powerful.
On my current but ancient 350B motherboard, I'm on my third updated Ryzen CPU! Starting at a modest Ryzen R5 1600, and now I have an R7 5800X. Which is still modest, but good enough for me.
