Quick question, I'm planning on finally upgrading my server and using it as my desktop too (through KVM), after looking around many parts and prices, I ended up realizing that the combo of a 13700k + Z690 UD DDR4 and 5900x + x570s Tomahawk cost basically the same, so it sounds like a no-brainer choise and just go for the Intel one as it's way faster in single core and more recent right? But one thing bothers me, as I'll be pinning specific CPU cores for VM, dockers (auth, file manager, NVR) and Minecraft Server (it easily chomps my I7 4770), would this dance of P and E cores here and there actually end up hurting performance? Where instead I could go for 5900x w/ 12c24t but that have "homogenous" cores (2x6 CCX).

Ps. Yes I'll use only DDR4, and energy efficiency isn't important.

E+P Cores are fully detacheable. You can run dockers on the E Cores and VMs on the P Cores. thats how i do it.
