The 11400f is definitely a good upgrade over a stock 5820k, but not sure how it stacks up to an average overclock like 4.2ghz. Haven't looked tbh....might get me wanting to upgrade sooner
Well the 11400F stock frequency is 4.4 Ghz, so its already faster plus the latest cores.
However you have enough time to wait for Alder Lake.
VS my 1650 V2 @ 4.4GHz the 11400F gets a multi-thread score of 4256 against my 3388 and single thread 544 against my 451 with CPU-z's benchmark. The gains in things like games are also about that at 1080p.
Definitely getting time for an upgrade....but it does seem there will be ways to use W11 on a 5820k, so I'll happily wait for Alder Lake and Zen 4.
GPU is still bottlenecking my system, and I can't be arsed with trying to upgrade it.
windows 11 will be forced upgrade at some point. and they probably remove support for your 5960x just to smite thee

Windows 11: Soon to require a minimum of Intel Alder Lake or Ryzen 6000 series, only to provide the best service and experience to all our customers.

Still on a 5820k as well, toyed with an upgrade for over a year now but don't feel like there will be enough of a noticeable jump to make it worthwhile.
I will probably wait until the Zen 3 refresh and upgrade then if nothing else is announced.

there still very good no point really with a good gpu still last a few years yet. also win 11 who cares. they will probably patch update it to work on older cpus anyway.
Depends what you do. It sounds like you don't actually need the 5820k to begin with and could have grabbed a quad core at the time - I mean single thread performance isn't much different which is probably what you mean when you say it's not worth it but multicore performance today is enormously improved - x99 is HEDT right, so you could compare the 5820k against a 3970x and see how much improvement there is, for example cinebench r23: 5820k 5k points, 3970x 50k points.
So for someone who has a legitimate use case for an HEDT platform, today's chips will be saving them hours upon hours in work providing massive efficiency improvements.

This a joke?

None of which I've argued with, I think everyone is aware if you need it for work then a newer chip would massively outperform it. We're talking purely gaming performance and I got a great deal on the 5820k at the time which is why I went with it.
Don't forget all of those who go with the top end chips and rarely ever use them for anything other than gaming. A Cinebench score in a thread on here doesn't mean much.

No its a likely prediction.

I have the exact same motherboard that's been working great since 2015 with the same CPU. So far, I've used 2 methods to bypass the royally annoying TPM2.0 requirement:
Method #1: Using WinNTSetup4.1 via Sergei Strelec's WinPE.
Method #2: Replacing Win10 21H1's install.wim with Win11's.
Thing is, I want to upgrade to Win11 in a non-Neo-from-the-Matrix way in order to keep all my data as is, so I hope someone finds a way to patch a relevant DLL found in /sources/ or something like that, assuming Microsoft won't change their mind about the requirement.
I've never used BitLocker; hell, I don't even use a password for my user account, nor do I use an online MS account to log in to Windows. I thought about buying a TPM2.0 for X99A SLI PLUS, but I doubt it will work even if the number of pins is identical. Found one on Amazon for like 50 bucks. Thing is, I'd rather buy ARGB fans with a controller than spend money on something that has absolutely no use for me.

Yup; noticed the same on eBay just now. How predictable!
I sometimes use WinNTSetup4.1 to install Win10 anyway, so I don't mind doing the same for Win11. About time I did a fresh install anyhoo (once the general public release is out, of course.)

Hilarious, if people are actually paying those prices.
It's not even out yet, and there are already some headless chickens.

Welp, the masses are nothing if not super panicky, and then we wonder why governments lie to us. I think it should be called "Supply, and Panic".Hilarious, if people are actually paying those prices.
