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.

Whilst cpu pricing is good right now, desktop arrow lake won’t be launched til next year October probably since 14th gen launched at that time. Waiting an entire year makes no sense if you need to upgrade now. For this reason most are building on AMD am5 since the 8000 series will also be am5. Lga1700 is end of life since 15th gen is not going to use this socket. As long as you are aware of this then do the move you want. I went with a 12600k since the deal was too good to pass up but I built on ddr5. I am sure you will find some decent priced bundles for a 13600 or even 14600.
