The last few generations were plagued not only by heat output issues, poor pricing, and underwhelming performance in all but gaming, but also suffered irreparable manufacturing defects. The new lineup is essentially more of the same.
I always try to buy the better product, when given a choice, and it’ll take a lot of convincing me to consider this
Why buy overpriced new stuff that’s not even better than the last generation?
Intel is fucked.
Lmfao, get fucked intel. Do better next time
My current CPU is still overpowered and that probably won’t change so quickly
My 7th gens are just starting to become a problem for gaming.
I upgraded my gaming PC from an 4th gen i7 4770 last year. And mostly to get a better GPU. The CPU rarely was the bottleneck
Yeah, you still need the CPU to move all the data to the video card and to and from the memory. The stuff I play doesn’t mind 30 frames per second, I’m not really much of a stickler for high settings. But even the shitty unity games are starting to struggle
Im on fourth gen intel, tbh I feel no need to upgrade :3
Do you mean 4th gen core i? If that’s the case, I only recently upgraded from it as well. If you actually mean 4th gen Intel…how’s that 286 doing for you?
It works well enough, I love my Thinkpad T440p :3
I have a T430 that still sees use as an occasional web browsing & Arduino coding machine. I bought it used in 2016 without HDD for $150, and I don’t think I’ve gotten better value for money with any of my other computer purchases to-date.
Same, running a E5 2697 v4 (18C/36T) (Broadwell) that I bought used about 2 years ago. Also have a server running Ivy Bridge CPU.
I don’t game much, but this CPU is perfect for productivity type of work.
the only reason i replaced mine is the cheap chinese motherboard i got along it shit itself.
