Not a huge gamer but I dabble. Use a lot of Adobe products , and started getting into video editing. I have a 2080ti that’s been just a beast over the past two years. I have the lga2066 socket 7800x , and it’s been great but looking to upgrade to something a little faster , any suggestions on a lga2066 intel proc for my asus x299-xe mobo ? I am maxed out with a Gskill DDR4 4000mhz 128gb kit (8 sticks)

Thanks in advance yall.

    There’s very little difference between the 7980xe, 9980xe, and 10980xe, so buy one of those, whichever is cheapest, overclock it as much as possible, and ride that until the next real Intel mainstream generation; Lga1700 is on its last legs, and the 14th generation is a stopgap.

    I was in a similar position to you, rocking a 7940x that I bought for $290 CAD in 2021. I upgraded to a 14700k platform. While it is better for gaming, I don’t notice a huge difference in productivity and everyday use. Kinda wish I’d kept my money for a while longer.
