Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

When you feel things are not functioning the way it is. On laptops, I previously jumped from 3rd Gen (i5-3210M) to 8th Gen (8550U), and now currently on 12th Gen (12700H+RTX 3060). Buying the U series was a mistake, if not I would have not gotten my 12th Gen laptop and probably bought a new one with the 14th Gen. My guess is, every 5-6 years should be good enough. Anything less than 3 years is not recommended unless you really need to extract and use every bit of processing power that the new gen delivers.
For the gaming scenario, most games above 1080p are GPU throttled and not CPU, so you might not gain a lot. My 12700H literally has the same performance as your 10700K and I would wager a guess, that it can last for 2-3 more years at least. Use the money to get a new GPU (if you game), or a better monitor.
