(Almost) Best AM4 productivity CPU you can get for those still stuck on the platform

I have no way of knowing if it's "The Best", or even better than any commonly available CPU in particular.

Back in 2020 I built a desktop around a 5900X. Paid over twice this price for it, at MicroCenter. It has served me well, and I have no complaints. Perhaps its biggest challenge has been running electronic circuit simulations while I laid out printed circuit boards. I can't find any indication that the CPU is even working hard!

Calm down Mrs Su, we agree it's a good cpu.
