These shit CPUs are trash in every respect. It's pretty obvious the AM5 socket was maxed out by the 7000 series (the first series to be released for that socket, lol), as these 9000 series CPUs barely perform any better. Furthermore they are dying. Exploding in motherboards. People are blaming the Asrock motherboards, but that's because Asrock motherboards are usually the cheapest option, so that's what most people own. The chips themselves are dying on other motherboards too, not just Asrock.

Furthermore the reasons for the chip deaths are the exact same as the reasons Intels chips were dying for a while. We know because the fix is the same: motherboard manufacturers release BIOS patches that gimp the CPUs and throttle performance, so they consume less juice. These CPUs already barely outperformed the 7000 series, and now they have to be gimped to avoid explosion.

The solution is to release a better, bigger socket and put these chips on a bigger die. Intel did that but AMD won't. They have these AI-series processors that look good, but they are mobile only. There's no way to make a desktop version that works with AM5. Fucked company.

Look at the market for recycled Xeons on Aliexpress. That's what people are buying to build actual IRL servers in a pinch. When people talk about China threatening us on semiconductors, they tend to ignore this because it's such a recent phenomenon.

It's also not something China engineered, or even could have engineered, it was all simply a matter of time. The Ivy Bridge era Xeons were so good at the time that they still perform great today. At the same time, data centers around the world have all upgraded to Threadrippers and thrown their old Xeons in the trash. The market is suddenly flooded with used-but-perfectly-usable-now server chips.

It's also that telling ten years of innovation has not made these old ass Xeons obsolete.
