Who should consider each?
Use the soc specifications to check the intended integration requirements. For a purchase, add current availability, price, software compatibility and measurements of your workload. The field differences alone do not justify recommending one model.

A specification difference is not a measured workload result. Sources and entity scope must match before drawing performance conclusions.
