Since there is a lot of simulation planned including rigid body dynamics with contact (libraries like https://github.com/raisimTech/raisimLib, https://github.com/deepmind/mujoco), I need some powerful CPU to use these libraries. I know that Intel has MKL over AMD; however, I am not sure how relevant that is for my case. The robotics simulators are generally written with C++, uses Eigen or their own math libraries. I feel like there is a lot of linear algebra involved and Intel combined with MKL should give me less headache. I have chosen i9-12900K, but what about AMD Ryzen9 5950X for example?

There is a new generation of rigid body simulators which use GPU instead of CPU (https://github.com/google/brax, https://developer.nvidia.com/isaac-gym). I do not think they are as mature as the previously mentioned simulators. Perhaps I am mistaken. Shall I focus on them instead? In terms of hardware that means I can downgrade the CPU to Ryzen5, and upgrade to RTX3080, roughly.
