So I’m currently running the 12th gen i7 3.60GHz and lately I feel like an upgrade might be due soon.
During heavy loads I usually have a game up such as Escape From Tarkov or Battlefield 2042 and various other games, but I also have discord up to stream and have my friends screens up as we play, and I also have chrome running with multiple tabs for maps, Crunchyroll, Netflix and such. (I watch anime in between matches and when I’m not too concerned about being competitive).
Would upgrading to 14th gen be worth it? I’d certainly like to upgrade from DDR4 to DDR5, so maybe a bundle upgrade would be in order?
Why though? Unless you want a change for the sake of it then sure go for it but realistically there is absolutely no need to upgrade and if you want to maximize your performance in escape from tarkov you would benefit more from switching to amd’s x3d cpu. Also since you want to switch ram you would have to change the enitre combo cpu, mobo and ram.
