hard to say

#

depends on what you using it for

#

for my uses case i will pick amd

#

7700x

#

and then you overclock

#

not much

#

intel

#

depends

#

on games and many other things

I'd go 12900k personally

#

But you need good cooling and stuff

#

And the games and uses matter too ig

I'm looking at performance + my use cases are different

#

I don't need an upgrade path as if I spent that much on a CPU I wouldn't upgrade it anytime soon

#

would hold on to it for years and years

#

never heard of someone upgrading from an i9 recently unless 9th or 10th gen

What size of radiator

That’s not enough

#

Intel started making big space heaters at 12th gen

#

Stuck at 10nm, and needing to keep up with AMD’s 7nm and below

#

They need to pump so much voltage and current though to compensate

#

Probably not

#

AMD is better for gaming tbh

#

Which i9

#

Hmmmm

#

Do you plan to upgrade this anytime soon?

#

I mean after this

#

Hmmm

#

I would recommend AMD bc of the new platform staying around for longer

what all do you want to do with it
