well, seems you sticked to AMD thru their worst moments and switched when they were good xD
Also, 5800X is a bad deal anyway, 5700X is the same but runs cooler....And for gaming a i5/R5 are usually the better options anyway.

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.

I switched sides after about 12 years of using AMD CPUs (a 12700k was cheaper to build than 5800X), and this mini beast was a very very good first impression of Intel for me.
Good work on picking what works out best for your budget and not sticking to a specific brand. Everyone needs to do this.
Performance wise is it on par with a 10700k? Seems to be according to user benchmark but I never know if I should trust that site. If it is, it should be more than enough for current games.
Are you aware that a cheap common mobo like Asrock b760m pg riptide can overclock this CPU and in my experience it should have no problem running at 5Ghz all cores ? Then it is even sweeter deal. Just note that when overclocking this CPU on these special boards while safe you lose Sleep in Windows.
I have my 12100 overclocked to 4.9ghz and it rips. So fast I put my 5960x in the bin lol
Most CPUs are way overkill these days. When a CPU limited a GPU to 90% everyone screams "bottleneck" as if it's going to blow up their PC and rushes to upgrade with a $500 budget to get that extra 10 fps back.
i mean, you don't want your bottleneck to be your CPU
I think the issues that causes are way overblown vs GPU bottlenecks. It's a little worse yeah. But people will still drop their CoD or RB6:Siege graphical settings to low on their so they can be CPU limited all day on their 4090.
What about threads? I always wanted this cpu but opted for 5700x. Was a bit afraid it would loose with the lack of threads but seems great with rtx 4060 budget build.
4c/8thread not too shabby, it really rips... I definetly love mine :D
Yea them 12th gen chips you can find cheap sometimes. I got a i5 12600k for like 120 dollars brand new which I though was a pretty good deal
