CPU i9 K or X

Hi everybody ,
I have a question .. looking into User-benchmark looks that the CPU i9 9900K is the number 4th in performance ! better than processor of X series ... I would ask your opinion about the series X cpu and why looks that the i9 9900K is better than the 9840X ...

Thanks

would be nice to post those benchmarks too.

here you find the comparison ... is both oh the 4th place .. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compar.../m641326vs4028

are you sure that was 9840X?
I do not understand one of them is faster (a bit), the other one has more cores). I don't know which one is better. And obviously it depends on the usage too.

I made a mistake I mean 9940X the 14 core 28 threads CPU

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php suggests that X is more performant than K, at least for those two specific processors.

i9-9900X - 22956 (25th)

i9-9900K - 20182 (47th)

Socket 2066 can take more ram, has more PCIe lanes, accepts ECC etc.
