    Ouch, I often pine over recent-gen CPUs in office desktops/minis, but when these generations hit the market, I can't imagine anyone giving them the time of day, not without very steep discounting,...

    Ouch, I often pine over recent-gen CPUs in office desktops/minis, but when these generations hit the market, I can't imagine anyone giving them the time of day, not without very steep discounting, or some sort of solid warranty, at least.

      I always pick up older hardware not newer hardware. Partly due to pricing, partly to let this sort of stuff get worked out, and partly due to repressed memories of Broadcom wireless issues 20 years ago.

      The 12700K bundle I picked up on sale this year for a build are probably the “freshest” components I’ve ever used.

      I almost felt unlucky that I didn’t wait a bit when the 13xxx bundle showed up a few months later. Now I just feel lucky, I guess.

      But I’m happy with the 12700K build. Self hosting services without any issues, has Intel QSV on the off chance something needs to be transcoded, and 30TB of storage is attached to one machine not 2.
