Why buy overpriced new stuff that's not even better than the last generation?
- CONSUME?
  
  Thats how profit be made
- Line must always go up.
The last few generations were plagued not only by heat output issues, poor pricing, and underwhelming performance in all but gaming, but also suffered irreparable manufacturing defects. The new lineup is essentially more of the same.
I always try to buy the better product, when given a choice, and it’ll take a lot of convincing me to consider this
- also suffered irreparable manufacturing defects. The new lineup is essentially more of the same.
  This chip is manufactured by TSMC, so that'd be on them.
  
  Intel QA failing to audit third party suppliers properly is Intel's fault.
  
  Intel is the architect, TSMC does the building, and they're definitely building to plan. Thus, your leaky roof is the fault of the architect who wasn't really considering the existence of rain when designing the house.
  
  You don't buy from TSMC, but from Intel. Also, AMD also uses TSMC, they didn't have such problems recently.
Intel is fucked.
- Intel fucked themselves
  
  .
Lmfao, get fucked intel. Do better next time
I might buy it when they go on a blowout sale.
- Might want to wait even on that idea until we know they don't destroy themselves. (kinda have to do that with all intel now, sad)
Based Germans know the inherent dangers posed by Intel Management Engine.
My current CPU is still overpowered and that probably won't change so quickly
- My 7th gens are just starting to become a problem for gaming.
  
  I upgraded my gaming PC from an 4th gen i7 4770 last year. And mostly to get a better GPU. The CPU rarely was the bottleneck
Im on fourth gen intel, tbh I feel no need to upgrade :3
- Do you mean 4th gen core i? If that's the case, I only recently upgraded from it as well. If you actually mean 4th gen Intel...how's that 286 doing for you?
  
  It works well enough, I love my Thinkpad T440p :3
- Same, running a E5 2697 v4 (18C/36T) (Broadwell) that I bought used about 2 years ago. Also have a server running Ivy Bridge CPU.
  I don't game much, but this CPU is perfect for productivity type of work.
  
  .
What do you even need new, "faster" CPUs for? Serious question.
