Honestly – your 9400f should be ok. You’ll get 80-90% of the performance of your graphics card. That’s not the end of the world. You’ll be good until you can upgrade cpu/ram/mb down the line.

1·3 years agoAlder lake is also cheap and plentifully available. I replaced 16 cores of sandy bridge xeons with a i5-12400 and it’s *so much faster* in every way.

Same. M1 air and a 12400 desktop. Functionally, they’re both as fast as I need them to be, which I can’t say for the Sandy Bridge workstation I just retired.
I’m jumping from Ivy Bridge to Alder Lake at present… so jumping 9 generations?
12400 is a crazy value rn - $140 on amazon, and no e core shenanigans either
