Intel 11th Gen Core "Rocket Lake" Processors Now EOL and Discontinued in Latest PCN

Yeah coffee lake and older probably worth it performance wise.

The gap on last few years is far bigger than the gap from say sandy bridge to broadwell.

Still not big enough to make upgrading every generation a sensible option, imo.

Hi,
Classic EOLakes

Of course not every gen no.

A 6 generation gap is really a worthy upgrade. I don't understand people who swap CPUs every generation for 5% more IPC. Do people really have so much money to waste?

I doubt it, I think most people upgrades for the extra cores

I know a guy that upgraded from 4/4 to 4/8 to 6/6 to 8/16 in like 5 years.

Almost same single core performance and IPC but overall performance boost were still huge

For me, 8 performance cores plus smt/ht is the sweet spot and will be good for years for gaming.

Going to keep my 10700K until games won't run on it anymore!
