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.

Try it out first, see how you like the performance, if you do, which you probably will, stick with what you’ve got, save your money and upgrade when you hit an eventual wall down the road, like you “can’t play a game that you want to”, then do a decent generational upgrade, the longer you hold out, the better the stuff you will end up with. By the time that happens you will probably want a new GPU too, and on and on it goes. Don’t get all bent out of shape about words like “bottleneck”, unless something isn’t performing anywhere near like you expected it to.
