Question 13400F vs 7500F which to get ?

[wellallnasib]

Hello, I am trying to decide between 13400F and 7500F for my new PC. They both have same platform cost with MSI B660m-A PRO and MSI B650m-A PRO with DDR5.
Things I mainly use my computer for is playing games, recording with OBS and editing and exporting with Davinci Resolve. Note that I am not one of those guys who buy a new chip for old motherboard, meaning the upgradability of AM+ does not come to my consideration.

Now I have seen benchmarks where 7500F wins in gaming but looses in productivity.
So my questions are.

1. What does this productivity mean ? Does it mean that those extra cores from intel reduce the render time significantly in software like Davinci Resolove ? or GPU is the only thing that matters when using hardware acceleration.

2. Is it safe to get a 13th gen CPU yet or they are still have stability issues ?

In the UK the 13th gen i5-13400F (10 cores, 16 thread) is £169 and the 12th gen i7-12700KF (12 cores, 20 threads) is £172 from Overclockers.
I just bought the 12th gen i7 over the 13th or 14th gen due to the bad press and impact on the resale value should I sell it second hand as any 13th,14th gen will have a question mark hovering over it if its been damaged by a previous owner. Hope that helps.

In my country Intel or AMD does not directly sell products so price of previous gen products barely go down. I just google all online retailers for 12700K and it costs around $80 more and then I will be needing a Z board which is also expensive in my country even the shitty ones. But reselling part is valuable information.

My question still remains do CPU matter when encoding video with Davinci Resove or GPU is the only thing that matters.
