Sorry if the question is dumb, tried to google it but couldn’t find direct comparisons and am somewhat pc illiterate.

    Absolutely. But I recommend a 13600K or if you don’t mind spending $400 a 14700k

    I went from a 6700k to a 13700k for productivity reasons less than a month ago. The difference was huge and very noticable. Can recommend if you also do it for productivity reasons. For gaming, I cannot say but would expect the upgrade is not worth it persé

    The 12700k will be about twice in single core and for times as fast in multi core. Pretty good upgrade.

    How about 14400 or 14600. There are not many reason to go 12th gen now. Otherwise, if you can wait a little bit longer, going for 15th gen desktop is way better than 14th gen desktop it seems.

    Sorry if the answer is dumb, but you have not tried a lot of google if you can not find any of the hardware comparison sites (“CPU-benchmark, versus, user-benchmark, cpu-monkey”).

      I knew there’d be a difference, I was told it wouldn’t be anywhere near enough to make it worth it, obviously I was wrong.

    Totally worth it since intel 6th generation is 8 years old, also the upgrade will improve the overall performance a lot while letting the gpu spread its wings more :)
