    2015 Intel: Bigger is not better.

    2018 Intel: wait no sometimes bigger is better

    2021 Intel: cutting own hair and sobbing what mean bigger? What mean better?

    2023 Intel: foaming at the mouth HERE. BIGGER. YOU TAKE BIGGER. YOU LIKE BIGGER.

    I just had one question. What performance issue were you hoping to solve with the upgrade and did it indeed solve the problem?

    One personal already pointed out the MSFS uplift was surprisingly high between the 2, are you a sim player also?

      Like, 1/10th of that upgrade even.

      At least the iPhone got a 120Hz screen, always on display and massive CPU/GPU improvements.

      I love my 11700K and Z590 system. Has been the most rock solid PC I’ve ever owned (besides the crappy Intel network cards that need a 2 year old driver to work properly) and I’ve literally had only 2 Windows crashes since I built the system in 2019 (playing The Forest in early access, but was GPU related).

        Never upgrade to odd number gen. Always wait for the even number

        I upgraded due to cost and it met my needs at a time when COVID and inflation was affecting technology prices. Got tired of running an 95-6600k. Quad-core with 4 threads.
