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?

    10th gen came out when?? Early 2020? That would put the earliest buyers around the four year mark in a few months. That would be the earliest they’d really need to make a jump and is in line with around the average upgrade cadence of four years.

    They could look at Raptor Lake Refresh, but honestly if it were me and I had a 10900K, I wouldn’t even start looking until Arrow Lake next year. A 10900K would still be a beast. Ditto with 11th Gen (though 11th gen was kind of a dud so I can see why people would want to get off that one lol).
