There’s nothing wrong with 11th gen. 12th gens were just a substantial improvement over 11th gen; probably one of the most major improvements in some time. I’ve got a 11th gen i9 and it’s solid. Your i7 will be great.

There's nothing specifically wrong for 11th (other than the i9) but you seem to have kept an amazing tracking record of buying the "pointless" generation. Both the 7th Gen and 11th Gen were "pointless" as in they made little to no improvement. They were just slightly overclocked previous gen chips sold as "the next best thing".

The i9 exception was the fact that the 10th gen core i9 had 2 more core and 4 more thread than the 11th gen i9. The 11th gen core i9 is an overclocked 11th gen i7.

So the idea here was either save your money and go 10th gen or go to 12th gen

11900k is awesome but also not worth the msrp.

11900k is exactly the cpu I was talking about being a total ripoff...

Yes I know. Was clarifying it is a good cpu and if you get one at a good discount it is worth buying. If you can get a newer chip obviously do that
