Hey Team,
I've got a i3-8350K processor in my home desktop from a little over two years ago
It looks like the 10th Gen Core processors are launching in the next few weeks, which will have a different chipset and no longer be compatible with my Z370 motherboard
So,
I'm looking at buying one of the 9th gen processors because I imagine they'll fall in price when the new ones are released, they'll be a performance boost over my current processor, and the 9th gen CPUs will fit into my existing motherboard.
Does anyone have any particular views on whether there is a sweetspot for price/performance? I do not imagine overclocking, although I've just learned that I can do that with my current processor (I haven't). I do play games occasionally, but also do a chunk of video/audio editing from time to time.
