Using 2500k, still waiting on upgrade, rant - eviltoast

Will intel ever release another amazing product?

I woke up this morning, looking at Intel’s roadmap again. As post says, I’m still using an 2500k at 4.3, paired with a 2060 RTX. This old beast in it’s final form is still getting the job done. From last year: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/14689015

I’ve upgraded the video card twice, processor zero times

I’ve built 3 PCs in my time, dating back to last century.

- Celeron 433 at 488, upgraded CPU to celeron 600 at 900.

- Core 2 Duo 6400

- Intel 2500k, eventually OC’d to 4.3

After three amazing systems, what will be next?

As an intel fanboy I’ve been wanting a worthy successor for a LONG time. My plan was to wait for 20A, since it’ll be a new socket and hopefully more power efficient. I can’t believe I’m still waiting. Everything they release is a power hungry not quite worthy enough processor. Come on, intel. Why can’t you make badass processors anymore?
