For CPU-based AI workloads the AMD Ryzen 9000 series with AVX-512 and no hybrid core layout were often delivering the best performance but the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus did provide terrific value.

Whisper.cpp benchmark with settings of Model: ggml-base.en, Input: 2016 State of the Union. Ryzen 9 9950X3D was the fastest.
Whisper.cpp benchmark with settings of Model: ggml-small.en, Input: 2016 State of the Union. Ryzen 9 9950X was the fastest.

Again, Nova Lake should be much more interesting on the Intel side thanks to AVX10 as well as APX.
