I've been pretty happy with Ryzen CPUs like Ryzen 7950X in combination with NVME drives (1G read/write speeds at least). Haven't really had time to do comparisons with the above CPU list you gave though.
Personally if you need the best performance then I would go the Ryzen route.
We have quite a lot of massive sites with loads of traffic and the 7950x / 3d's have been nailing it home you really can't go wrong.
Well it depends on your websites model/daily visitors
Ryzen mostly will do the job for you (should be the primary option, for better performance), but there are cases you'll be needing more cores for such heavy displays and high peak of visitors then I'll do EPYC instead
The highest clock speed ones
Why not to prepare for worst so use AMD Epyc Genoa 9754 with RAID-10 NVME drives and your websites will be loading instantly so don’t need any optimisations.
Any 3+ ghz cpu will do the job with lots of ram assigned to sql server
Litspeed + redis wordpress will fly
I also think like that. One of my website has more than 300k monthly visitor. Luckily it's not WordPress based. 😅
Then go with EPYC already. Think about the future. It might grow spontaneously + you are hosting other websites on the server I'd rather go EPYC. My rule is even I do not need the usage if I see in future it would come I'd rather be ready
In my experience, LiteSpeed makes a big difference in terms of both WordPress performancem and the server load (including the CPU load).
The free LiteSpeed has limits in terms of domains and RAM, while the paid version costs almost $30 per month for over 5 domains.
What I went with (and am quite happy with) is good reseller hosting.
MDDHosting Elastic reseller hosting starts from $10 per month, while their Plaid Reseller hosting (faster hardware, worth it, that's what I'm using mostly now) starts from $30. I'm hosting over 20 websites on the lowest-tier Plaid platform, and still have enough "room" (CPU usage is very low, while RAM is used for about 1/3 of the alotted total amount).

Xeon Platinum. It is rare cpu model among budget providers. A leverage for marketing.

Find what's your bottleneck and fix it. Some usual culprits:
1. If it's anonymous users, add full page caching with varnish/nginx/etc
2. If the mysql-part is slow, look into Memcached/Redis caching (can use another server)
3. For single-page-latency, a faster cpu-core is better
4. Make sure the db is configured for the server it's running on (example for PostgreSQL you want to change config based on the ram of the server)
4. If the db part is slow, profile that too (better disk(always ssd/nvme), more memory?, better indexes?)
Epyc or Xeon Platinum
IMO, for wordpress, hosting your database in a separate server will net you much more performance boost than simply moving to a faster server (unless your new server is much faster than the old one). This is because mysql doesn't need to fight with php for cpu and i/o resources anymore.
