Any reason to get an i9 over an i7?

Or, any reason to stick with an i7 over an i9? I'm not liking what I'm seeing when I search for an i9 today....
I'm looking at some new machines for Windows 11. With the main justification for an i9 being more for speed for less work time spent waiting.
And sticking with Intel. It's all Intel here. On the personal side, I might go with AMD more. I'm seeing really crappy reviews for Intel's i9... That's not helping my current impression of them, but it's all Intel here.
Speed, future-proofing (as long as it survives, assuming faster will allow the machine to last longer in the long run), maybe something with AI but that AI label might just be the fade of the day for now.
And then I suppose bragging right of having an i9. (Then again, giving what I'm seeing of Intel and the i9 lately, it might not be something to brag about, let alone saying you're paying an Intel tax.)

There isn't any justifiable reason to advocate for i9 machines in a workplace. i5 should be the standard with i7 for power users. i9 these days have just been overclocked i7s, which in a laptop is pointless.

Usually means more cores. But for many (like a typical gamer), the extra cores aren't going to mean too much.
Obviously, lots of variance since not actual generation was mentioned.
Vs AMD, I think if a non-F SKU, something with QSV might be a big reason to choose Intel over AMD. But again, if that doesn't matter, there's a lot to love about Ryzen.

What does this have to do with sysadmin work?
