    The performance differences in the current gen between the top end i7 vs i9 is not worth the cost difference.

    If you absolutely NEED the performance, Intel got ya over a barrel and you gotta buy it, but if you don’t need it, don’t waste your time.

    Generally speaking, in all cases, if you are asking the question “do I need this top of the line product”, the answer is no. If you actually needed it, you wouldn’t be asking the question. You would have the background information necessary to determine the answer. The use case for the top end is for enthusiasts with extreme needs and beginners who have money to waste. If younare asking the question, and you buy it, you fall under the latter categoey.
