I'd much rather have proper cores, no e cores or hyperthreading.

Some of us aren't yearning, Im still on X79 now, but not for much longer, I was going to go AM5 once X870 comes out, but if Arrowlake is out on the 17/10 then I will wait and see how that looks before deciding.
All very fair points and I might rebuild into a smaller case (full dual loop WC was OK in 2011 but a PITA now).I still use a X79 setup for a lot of productivity stuffdue to being able to fully use Windows 7 on it - had to build a new setup with a 14700K for gaming when a lot of stuff started dropping Windows 7 support.
Windows 10/11 is trash when you really need to be able to depend on the OS![]()

i have the money saved and was going to go all in on AMD for a change for their long socket support. Now im going to wait and see what Arrowlake brings, either way by Xmas I want a new PC, it has been a very long time since my last one.
