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

I still use a X79 setup for a lot of productivity stuff
due 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

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 stuff

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.
While the performance is still pretty good with my 1650 V2 at 4.4GHz - awhile back I picked up a Lenovo Legion Go with the Ryzen Z1 Extreme chipset and at full power it largely blows it out the water, even at 5 watt TDP limit it often matches or beats it heh.
Personally I don't really care what type of cores I have, I just care about performance.
I've two systems that I use daily. 13900k for work and 7950X3D for games. Both perform very well, on a fully up to date W11 OS install with modern applications. Both are stable.
I think the majority of issues come from people that can't move on and insist on using old OS (Windows 10 etc), old software, or those that struggle to install the correct drivers/software.
It is getting a little more complicated to get the best performance out of the box these days, as it's not just a question of installing the latest software from the CD/DVD/vendor website. From my personal experience, most of these people will either buy a Mac, console or will use managed services (hardware hosted on the cloud, with provider doing the OS updates/drivers/etc).
