intel's flood the market mindshare strategy with incremental performance gains to confuse consumers.yearly releases... cpus is becoming like phones.... lol
I could be missing a joke here, when was Intel didn't had multiple yearly CPU release ?yearly releases... cpus is becoming like phones.... lol

I'm debating. The 10900k is at the 3 years since built mark in July, and I'd kinda like to upgrade, but at the same time this is just a refresh...I'll think I'll pass this generation, I'm not expecting a huge jump in performance if this is only a refresh.
they only recently do yearly releases because amd is doing yearly, they cant afford to release every two years vs amdNo shit

I am not sure what you mean, do you mean that during the 3x86, 4x86, pentium 1-2-3-4 Intel was not doing yearly release ? Certainly not, they often had multiple release a yearthey only recently do yearly releases because amd is doing yearly, they cant afford to release every two years vs amd
they missed 4 years here... so its not 100% yearly, and most of these are refreshes, yes you could say they released new ones "yearly" but a true upgrade is really every 3 years or until intel 4nm cpu comes out1st gen - 2008
2nd gen - 2011
3rd gen - 2012
4th gen - 2013
5th gen - 2015
6th gen - 2015
7th gen - 2016
8th gen - 2017
9th gen - 2018
10th gen - 2019
11th gen - 2020
12th gen - 2021
13th gen - 2022
14th gen - 2023
I don't know what your definition of "recent" is, but they sure seem like they plan on doing yearly releases for the last 15 years or so.

Which is still the case now, the news is about a second Alder Lake refresh, it is not like they are announcing massive generational upgrade a la meteor Lake yearly nowthey missed 4 years here... so its not 100% yearly, and most of these are refreshes, yes you could say they released new ones "yearly" but a true upgrade is really every 3 years or until intel 4nm cpu comes out
I'm debating as well, except with a 10700k.I'm debating. The 10900k is at the 3 years since built mark in July, and I'd kinda like to upgrade, but at the same time this is just a refresh...
i have 9900k and it runs games fine, same for my 5900x, best upgrade for me is 14th or 15th gen intel since 14th is right around the corner, dont get me wrong, 12th and 13th are great cpus too, at one point I was thinking of getting 12th gen since its pretty cheap compared to 13thWhich is still the case now, the new is about a second Alder Lake refresh, it is not like they are announcing massive generational upgrade a la meteor Lake yearly now
I had a 980x for a good 8 years where she served in a number of rolls for over 14 years. That line for Intel was amazing for their longevity.Hmm, maybe a worthy successor to the i7 920 @ 4 GHz?![]()
Yeah... it really depends on how power hungry the new 14X intel chips will be for me.. might have to wait longer or consider AMD... AMD has had various Bios issues over the years for certain chips / chipsets that have been somewhat of a deterrent.Suspect Intel dropping the ball on shrinking their processes might have a little to do with this. AMD, or TSMC really, cleaned their clocks in that regards.
I upgrade every ~5 years and am definitely due as my i7-8700K is a little long-in-the-tooth. Now engaged in the classic "Intel vs AMD" struggle. Realize this is the Intel sub; but am considering going with the Ryzen 7 79003DX just to do something different after a decade+ with Intel. Will have to look into this 14xxx series to decide if I can hold off scratching the upgrade itch.
Yep that's what I'm waiting on as well. For now my 10700k marches on.Personally I would wait for 15th gen VS AMD's new AMD CPU. Intel's 15th looks/might be 1 badass chip!
If you do decide to go with AMD then I would choose any chip EXCEPT the 7900x3d. The 6/6 code split with the x3d cache only on one ccx makes it an odd chip regardless of the use case.Suspect Intel dropping the ball on shrinking their processes might have a little to do with this.

Soooo do I wait for 14….or just picked up 13th gen and scratch my itch to upgrsde
From all transpired, little chance that there will be big regret to have bought 12-13xxx on the refresh come out, it is not a major a la possibly meteor lake would be situationSoooo do I wait for 14….or just picked up 13th gen and scratch my itch to upgrsde
It's also not a bad thing. It isn't like you should upgrade every year with processors, nor phones. You upgrade when you feel the change has been big enough, but it is nice that they iterate every year to bring what performance improvements they can. That way if you ARE upgrading, you get something pretty current. I'd much rather have a new version come out every year than a long period of nothing than a jump every 5 years but end up in the same place as a yearly iteration.I don't know what your definition of "recent" is, but they sure seem like they plan on doing yearly releases for the last 15 years or so.

Looks like they already released a BIOS update for 14th-gen? Latest leak shows the 14900K releases in October.Hmmm so, the Z790 boards, like the MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi, should support the new chips, right? I've been thinking of moving back to Intel.
Wow, they're way ahead of the game if Oct. is the release date.Looks like they already released a BIOS update for 14th-gen? Latest leak shows the 14900K releases in October.

I saw that and it should be supported but it also seemed really early lolLooks like they already released a BIOS update for 14th-gen? Latest leak shows the 14900K releases in October.

One of the benefits of "early" support in bios is that it increases the likelihood that the board you buy will actually have that bios installed and support the new CPUs. I tend to shy away from boards that lack a no-cpu bios/"BIOS Flashback" updater feature. Having to source a cheap CPU or do a whole RMA just to run what you bought brand new is dumb.I saw that and it should be supported but it also seemed really early lol
