I'm still on a 10700k and skipped the whole Alderlake / Rapterlake / Raptorlake Refresh LGA 1700 platform. Just wondering how many Intel users out there also completely skipped the current platform and are waiting on what's next in 2024.

I mostly just game at 4K 60fps and so far for the games I play my system is still holding up really well (paired with my rtx 3090). How about you guys?

I skipped the lga1200 already, but I might not skip the lga1700.... here's why.

See, I got the 8700k on the Lga1151 that still screams. That was even before 10th and 11th gen Lga1200 socket, then we have the Lga1700 for the 12-14th gens.

Even so, I'm debating getting the 14700k this spring to save on the money on an over inflated "new" mb socket. If you're going to upgrade a cpu, I feel that updating the mb is just part of it. With proper care and cooling, your cpu should last several "SOCKET" changes. I'm aware that doesn't have to be the case, but unless you're upgrading every year or every other year. Then, by the time the next socket(s) roll out, when I rebuild my pc, I'll have to buy a new MB anyway. Unless the mb or 15th gen cpu are a huge improvement, then I don't see the justification for spending the extra money.

They already have lga1700 socket mbs that support the ddr5, and ram is easily upgradable once ddr5 becomes better optimized. As for the gpu, they have really been the same forever, and I don't see them making a change to it anytime soon. Unless some earth-shattering hardware upgrade happens that requires the connectors to change.

Once it's time to drop the money on it, I'll do more digging and see if it's worth it, but until the 15th gen is released and tested. All the hype and everything is really just speculation until that point, regardless of how reputable the sources may be.
