the legendary Core i7-8700K
This might be a unique assessment. My perspective is that Intel's strong lines were 4th gen and then 12th gen.I see a number 4770 and 4790 still doing the job they were bought for. I expect the same for 12th gen when they're 13yo. Not so for anything between 4th and 12th. |

What do you mean? My Core i7-6700K is still running strong on its Asus Z-170A mobo (TFA mention a Z370-A, mine's a bit older but was one of the first mobo to offer a M.2 NVMe slot). It even runs very modern games just fine on whatever not-so-powerful GPU that's in it: it's the PC my daughter uses to play (I did put PoP OS! and Steam on it but I'll swap to another distro if needed).
I switched to an AMD 3700X and then to an AMD7700X but I don't see anything wrong with my 6th gen Core i7.
