Most CPU reviews are showing up to twice the heat or more for around 5% better performance on single-cpu loads.
Most games are lightly threaded, with newer games being much better optimized for 6+ cores.
Even for Gaming, only the 9900K/KS are even in consideration for a good choice, and if you're doing anything besides gaming or quicksync loads, odds are you're better off with AMD. The 3900X is less expensive and does as good or better in most workloads, and even in gaming, most wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
As to best of the best for higher end, the Threadripper has no peer.
