Hello! It’s time for me to upgrade my pc and I’m unsure of what I should choose. I’ve heard that 13th and 14th-gen i9 are similar in performance, but I’m unsure of which one I should buy. If there is a better option (like Ryzen) out there then I’m open for it as well.
I’m fine with buying a new motherboard etc for the new sockets.
Use: I will use it to play games and work with Blender and Unreal.
Specs: Currently a 3090, i7-8700K, 32 GB RAM, Win 11.
Thanks in advance!
Ps. I’m thinking of doing the upgrade during Black Friday.
I just upgraded from the same CPU as you, though I went for the 14700k.
IMO, if you’re like me (which appears to be the case), I do a new build every ~7 years so I would get the 14900k. The cost difference is peanuts over that period of time and you may as well get the latest for the socket (and it seems like there are some 14 gen only features).
