CONSUME?
Thats how profit be made
Line must always go up.
The last few generations were plagued not only by heat output issues, poor pricing, and underwhelming performance in all but gaming, but also suffered irreparable manufacturing defects. The new lineup is essentially more of the same.
I always try to buy the better product, when given a choice, and it’ll take a lot of convincing me to consider this

This chip is manufactured by TSMC, so that'd be on them.
Intel QA failing to audit third party suppliers properly is Intel's fault.
You don't buy from TSMC, but from Intel. Also, AMD also uses TSMC, they didn't have such problems recently.
Intel is the architect, TSMC does the building, and they're definitely building to plan. Thus, your leaky roof is the fault of the architect who wasn't really considering the existence of rain when designing the house.
Intel is fucked.
Intel fucked themselves
Lmfao, get fucked intel. Do better next time
I might buy it when they go on a blowout sale.
Might want to wait even on that idea until we know they don't destroy themselves. (kinda have to do that with all intel now, sad)
My current CPU is still overpowered and that probably won't change so quickly
My 7th gens are just starting to become a problem for gaming.
I upgraded my gaming PC from an 4th gen i7 4770 last year. And mostly to get a better GPU. The CPU rarely was the bottleneck
I have a Ryzen 9 5950X and my biggest problem is keeping it cool.
Yeah, you still need the CPU to move all the data to the video card and to and from the memory. The stuff I play doesn't mind 30 frames per second, I'm not really much of a stickler for high settings. But even the shitty unity games are starting to struggle
Im on fourth gen intel, tbh I feel no need to upgrade :3
Do you mean 4th gen core i? If that's the case, I only recently upgraded from it as well. If you actually mean 4th gen Intel...how's that 286 doing for you?
It works well enough, I love my Thinkpad T440p :3
I have a T430 that still sees use as an occasional web browsing & Arduino coding machine. I bought it used in 2016 without HDD for $150, and I don't think I've gotten better value for money with any of my other computer purchases to-date.
Same, running a E5 2697 v4 (18C/36T) (Broadwell) that I bought used about 2 years ago. Also have a server running Ivy Bridge CPU.
I don't game much, but this CPU is perfect for productivity type of work.
What do you even need new, "faster" CPUs for? Serious question.
