Hello,

I’m going to buy one of these as an upgrade from a 12th gen. For 90% gaming usage which do you think would be a better way to go? There is only a $180.00 price difference between the two. I’m going to be pairing this with an MSI Z790 EDGE DDR4 motherboard with 4000 CL14 4x8 ram. I also currently already have a corsair 360 AIO. Does the 14900k have a better memory controller? I’ve also read that APO is only available currently on the 14900k? I’m not sure if that’s accurate or not? Which one would you guys go with? Thx

    Yeah, having more e-cores won’t extend the window of gaming usability

    By the time, a decade from now, that games hammer CPU’s, all current gen will not be enough.

    CPU’s age with gaming on only two factors, IPC and cache. core counts, especially e-core, doesn’t matter “as much”.
