I’m still on a 10700k and skipped the whole Alderlake / Rapterlake / Raptorlake Refresh LGA 1700 platform. Just wondering how many Intel users out there also completely skipped the current platform and are waiting on what’s next in 2024.

I mostly just game at 4K 60fps and so far for the games I play my system is still holding up really well (paired with my rtx 3090). How about you guys?

    I would. Heck on my GF’s PC I just upgraded her from 8th to 12th gen. Skipping LGA 1200 entirely. On my HTPC it’s 8th gen also, and I’m gonna wait for 15th gen and decide what to do with it then might go a budget end of life LGA 1700, an AM4, or 5 setup.

    On my personal PC I had an r5 1600, now a 3700x, and I’m thinking I’m gonna get a 5800x3d and then skip AM5, and get whatever the first gen on AM6 or the Intel equivalent at that time. Unless something before then really compels me. Then I’ll have had a motherboard last almost 10 years from 2016 to 2026ish, and hopefully can repeat that again with AM6.

    The 5800x3d just seems like a great hold over until then, unless the CPU wars speed up again.
