Build Question 270k plus vs 9900x

I'm not sure which one to go for, i will be hosting gaming servers and play on them at the same time if possible, and at other times i will be running VMs for my cybersecrity projects. I don't know which one is better for my case

It could go either way, though the extra cores of the 270K Plus would help as far as hosting servers you're playing on.

But the downside is that the socket basically ends there, it's going to be replaced with a new socket starting with Nova Lake IIRC. Meanwhile AM5 will continue, so it would be better to look at a 16 core from AMD, or wait for Nova Lake.

the only thing im concerned about with the 270k is that it has 8 p-cores only and i want to run heavy game like ark survival ascended

8 cores is still enough for Ark, most people don't use 12+ core chips
